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