The São Paulo International Marathon[a] (Portuguese: Maratona Internacional de São Paulo[4]) is an annual road-based marathon hosted by São Paulo, Brazil, since 1995.[2][3][5] It was categorized as a Bronze Label Road Race by the International Association of Athletics Federations, and is the first race in Brazil to have achieved this distinction.[2] The marathon is also a member of the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races.[1] During the race weekend, a half marathon, a 10K race, and a 5K race are also offered.[4]

History

[edit]

The inaugural race was held on 9 October 1995.[2][6] The marathon was won by Brazilian runner Luíz Antônio dos Santos and Russian runner Nadezhda Wijenberg, with finish times of 2:17:11 and 2:39:33, respectively.[6]

In 2000, Brazilian military parachutist and debut marathoner Alex Januario led for most of the race, but finished second after Kenyan runner David Ngetich passed him less than 3 km (1.9 mi) away from the finish line.[7]

Course

[edit]

All the races start and finish in Ibirapuera Park.[2]
