Plan Brazil 135 Ultra Journey

Use the listed edition as your starting point. Each tool keeps imported race facts separate from the targets and assumptions you choose.

Listed edition: Jan 7, 2027 – Jan 10, 2027
Format: Fixed-Distance
Distance: 240 km (150 mi), with shorter finishes at decision points including 135 mi (217 km)
Local start time: 8:00 AM Thursday
Duration / cutoff: 68 hours for all distances (the race closes at 4:00 AM Sunday, January 10). Runners going for 150 miles must reach the 135-mile point within 60 hours.
Crew and pacers: A crew is optional but strongly recommended. For international runners the organizer can arrange a vehicle with two crew members, at least one of them English-speaking, from US$1,630 for five days. Support vehicles leapfrog the runner, pulling at least 300 m ahead, and may help only while both runner and vehicle are stopped on the right side of the road. Vehicles carry an organizer-supplied roof beacon from 6 PM to 6 AM. Physical contact with a moving runner is not allowed. The regulations do not mention pacers.
Drop bags: Runners without a crew can have as many drop bags as they need at the decision points. Bags are packed at the pre-race meeting and all go on to the finish in Paraisópolis. The organizer also carries uncrewed runners’ backpacks to the finish.
