29° MEIA MARATONA INTERNACIONAL DE URUGUAIANA

The 29th International Half Marathon of Uruguaiana is set to return on October 11, 2026, bringing together runners from near and far for one of the region's most beloved events. The race offers three distances: a half marathon (21.1 km), a 10-kilometer run, and a shorter 5.5-kilometer option to cater to various skill levels.
The event kicks off at 6:45 AM with the start of the half marathon from the Cabeceira da Ponte Internacional, adjacent to the Municipal Tourism Secretariat. The 10 km and 5.5 km races follow shortly after at 7:00 AM. Participants will enjoy a scenic course that crosses into Argentina before returning to Brazil for the finish line near Tênis Clube Rio Branco.
Runners competing in the half marathon can look forward to receiving a hydration belt, chip timing, and energy gels as part of their race kit, which also includes an official event t-shirt and medal. Race kits will be available for pickup from October 7-9 at locations yet to be confirmed by organizers.
Medals are awarded to all finishers across the board, while top male and female competitors in the half marathon can earn trophies and cash prizes up to fifth place. Additional awards are given out based on age categories for both distance events.
The race course features several water stations along its route: six for the half marathon participants with an additional one at the start/finish line, and two intermediate hydration stops for those running shorter distances. Medical support is readily available throughout the event, ensuring a safe environment for all athletes.
Participants are advised to bring identification documents as required by border crossing regulations when registering or picking up their race kits. Detailed rules of engagement can be found on the official website, providing runners with comprehensive guidance leading up to the big day.
The 29th International Half Marathon of Uruguaiana promises an unforgettable experience for all levels of athletes, set against a backdrop that celebrates both local heritage and international camaraderie.
