Year-end in São Paulo offers races for every runner's style, whether you are supporting a social cause, running alongside your pet, or celebrating with a major concert at the finish line. Three standout events are set to energize the city throughout December.
Corrida do Arrastão: Charity and Tradition in Parque do Povo
The 25th edition of the Corrida pela Cidadania takes place on December 3 at Parque do Povo, in São Paulo's South Zone. The event features 5k, 10k, and 15k courses for adults, along with youth heats. All proceeds from registration fees go directly to community and social programs run by Projeto Arrastão for local families in Campo Limpo. The race is traditionally well attended by local running clubs, with registrations available through the Ticket Sports platform.
Cãosilvestre: Fun Pet Walk in Ibirapuera Park
For those who love exercising with their four-legged companions, Cãosilvestre hosts its themed edition on December 19 in Ibirapuera Park. This non-competitive 1.4 km (0.9-mile) recreational walk is designed specifically for dog owners and their pets. To ensure the safety and well-being of all canine participants, starting waves are organized by dog size. Official registration is handled directly through the São Silvestre website.
Circuito 100% Você: Axé Music and Running Arrive in São Paulo
Wrapping up the December calendar on December 20, the Ibirapuera area hosts the São Paulo debut of Circuito 100% Você. Created by Brazilian singer Bell Marques alongside his sons Rafa and Pipo Marques, the event blends sports and entertainment with 5k and 10k courses followed by a live axé concert in the arena. Driven by high demand across registration tiers, organizers have offered both standard kits and premium packages, which include front-stage access and entry to an exclusive lounge. Full details and registrations are hosted on the official 100% Esportes website.
