Maratona Sorocaba Rede Bom Lugar Novembro Azul

The Maratona Sorocaba Rede Bom Lugar Novembro Azul takes place at Parque das Aguas in Sorocaba, Sao Paulo. This street-running weekend features a full marathon, half marathon, 10 km race, 5 km walk, and a kids race. Shorter events are scheduled for Saturday afternoon, starting with the kids race, followed by the 10 km and walk. Sunday begins early with the marathon before dawn, and the half marathon starts an hour later. The marathon consists of two laps of a 21 km course, the half marathon is one lap, and the 10 km also uses a two-lap format. Participants include children, walkers, half marathoners, and full marathoners, giving it the feel of a community race weekend. The Novembro Azul name connects the event to Brazil's Blue November campaign for men's health awareness. The event includes finish-line fruit, hydration, accident insurance, timing chips for timed races, and medals for all finishers. The walk is untimed.
