On 17 May 2026, the inaugural Maratona Oficial de Belo Horizonte returns with a 42 km full marathon, a 5 km night run (held earlier in the weekend), and a Corrida Kids event. The full marathon will start at Praça da Estação, go through city landmarks including Arena MRV, Via Expressa, Avenida dos Andradas, Via 710, Viaduto José Cândido, and return to Praça da Estação. The night 5 km takes place on 15 May, traversing central and tourist corridors like Praça da Liberdade, Viaduto Santa Tereza, and Rua Sapucaí. The event spans 15–17 May as a festival weekend, with a “Vila da Maratona” at Parque Municipal, cultural programming, expo, and race-related festivities.
