The goal of ULTRA TRAIL AMAZÔNICA is to provide participants experiences of contact and living with the culture and nature of the Amazon, visiting places previously unexplored, aligning sport, nature, safety, entertainment and competitiveness, together with preservation and environmental awareness.
Athletes will be invited to connect deeply with the rhythms of nature and the diversity of fauna and flora. In addition to the challenge of the race itself, whether due to distance, climate and course, the unique characteristics of a jungle race make the event even more exciting. The forest operates at its own pace and unraveling it is the biggest challenge. After all, the routes will always go through trails in the middle of the Amazon rainforest and Rio Negro beaches and tributaries, in the pedestrian and mountain bike option.
There will be 3 days of running, with distances per stage, in the Mult Day Survivor model (self-sufficient athlete), with mandatory stop at the end of each stage as follows:
30k to 45k
90k to 100k
100k to 110k
On day 3 there will also be 8k, 16k and 21k alternative trails and beaches.
The variations in the distances are due to respect for the Amazonian nature, as it depends exclusively on the ebb of the Rio Negro, which will be decisive for the final layout of the distances in the interval mentioned above, in the period from the end of September to the middle of October, when the routes will be presented in their entirety.
The total number of routes for the 3-day main event varies between 220k and 255k. There are options to participate for just one or two days, in a row or alternating.
The athletes registered for the 3-day course will pass through 4 indigenous communities and 05 riverside communities, will be presented in dance form on the 1st day, the indigenous culture, as well as the food and overnight experience between the 3 days both in the indigenous community and in riverside.
On the 1st day, during the technical congress they will have instructions on how to survive in the jungle. All access to the event venues is only done by river, with an average distance of 1 hour to 20 minutes from Manaus.
To ensure the well-being of the participants and allow them to focus on their performance and enjoy the locality, the Ultra Trail Amazônica will offer a safety and hydration structure, and athletes will be able to count on medical teams, rescue teams, ambulance boats, and ambulances on standby. The course will be objectively signposted, easily visible and with signs indicating the direction and control points that will provide hydration and support to the athletes.
We are preparing special actions for those who are thirsty for adventure and want to challenge themselves in the jungle. Follow on social networks.

Facing the forest is a choice that already takes anyone out of their comfort zone. In addition, athletes registered for the 3-day tour will have the opportunity to pass through 4 indigenous communities and 5 riverside communities. Athletes will be invited to learn about the culture and habits of people who are deeply in tune with the Amazon and its charms.
A jungle experience is not something that people are commonly prepared for, so everyone will participate in survival training, so that they can safely overcome their limits.
To guarantee the well-being of the participants and allow them to focus on their performance, the Ultra Trail will offer a structure for safety, hydration and athletes will be able to count on medical teams, rescue teams and ambulances. The route will be objectively signposted, with tapes and signs indicating the places where you run or pedal and the control points.
All access to the event venues is only by river, with an average distance of 1h20min from Manaus.
Runner safety is a primary concern in all To Goal Sports races, working closely with the rules, requirements and teams of private health and public emergency, to ensure from the beginning to the end of the race and throughout its course, health, well-being, and prompt attendance to the medical needs of all runners, spectators, volunteers, and employees.
We also recommend that all participants follow simple precautions for a pleasant and enjoyable experience during the event:
Respect the distance
Only participate in the course if you are properly trained and physically prepared to complete the total distance;
Respect your health
Consider consulting your doctor when planning to attend one of our events;
Respect your body
If you are injured, or experience symptoms of fever, weakness, diarrhea or vomiting before or during the event and that may prevent you from being physically prepared to run the chosen distance, we recommend that you consider not participating on the event;
Respect your routine
Do not make major changes in training and hydration in the days before the race. On race day, a simple rule is to “drink your thirst” that is, do not drink more than you need and prefer water and sports drinks to stay hydrated and maintain sodium levels, and lastly, do not wear new shoes for first or second time on race day;
Respect the climate
Stay tuned for the weather forecast and adapt to climatic conditions. In Manaus, due to humidity and heat, its recommended to use sunscreen and prefer light clothes and the shirt provided by the race, ideal for the event;
Important
If you feel something different than usual, look for our medical team at the start, along the route or on arrival, review the route map and check the locations of care and medical posts. Every Medical Post has water, isotonic, toilets, medical facilities and access to emergency transport or removal from the site in case the race is not completed.
