28ª MARATONA INTERNACIONAL DE BLUMENAU - 2026

The Blumenau International Marathon begins on Alameda Duque de Caxias, a street locals refer to as Rua das Palmeiras, known for its palm trees. This road race takes place in Blumenau, Santa Catarina, offering a full marathon, half marathon, a 10 km rustic race, and a 5 km rustic race, typically scheduled for early July. The event limits participation to 8,000 runners, with all distances divided into age-group categories. The marathon attracts participants from Brazil and other countries, providing choices for both marathoners and those preferring shorter distances within the same event. Race kits are distributed at Parque Vila Germanica, the venue for a Marathon Fair held prior to the race. The pre-race activities highlight Blumenau's German heritage through a pasta dinner and a Mini Oktoberfest, featuring a German band and traditional folk dances.
