The Rio de Janeiro Marathon is an annual road-based marathon hosted by Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, since 1979.[3][1][4] The marathon is a World Athletics Label Road Race and a member of the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races.[1][2]

During the event, a half marathon, a 10K race, and a 5K race are also offered.[5][6] Runners are also offered the option of completing the Desafio Cidade Maravilhosa ('wonderful city challenge'), in which one runs both the half marathon on Saturday and the marathon on Sunday.[7][6] In 2022, 1,400 runners successfully completed the challenge.[7]

The Rio de Janeiro Half Marathon [pt] is a separate race that is held in August.[8][9]
