The Rio de Janeiro Marathon is an annual road-based marathon hosted by Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, since 1979.[3][1][4] The marathon is a World Athletics Label Road Race and a member of the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races.[1][2]
During the event, a half marathon, a 10K race, and a 5K race are also offered.[5][6] Runners are also offered the option of completing the Desafio Cidade Maravilhosa ('wonderful city challenge'), in which one runs both the half marathon on Saturday and the marathon on Sunday.[7][6] In 2022, 1,400 runners successfully completed the challenge.[7]
The Rio de Janeiro Half Marathon is a separate race that is held in August.[8][9]
History
[edit]The inaugural marathon was held in 1979.[3][10] It was organized by Brazilian runner Eleonora Mendonça, who later went on to run in the first Olympic women's marathon in 1984.[3][10][11][a] Mendonça set up the marathon with her company, Printer.[10][11]
Following the success of the inaugural marathon, the city ended up hosting two marathons during a few years, including in 1980 and 1981, where one was organized by Printer, and the other by Jornal do Brasil.[12][10]
