Stations & transport near the venue

Pay cash directly to the driver — it's accepted on every bus and needs no card or ID. If your specific bus shows a contactless payment symbol, you can also tap a foreign Visa/Mastercard at the validator, but this isn't yet on every bus.

IC card

Cartão TRI

TRI service points (e.g. Loja Unificada TRI e TEU) or the TRI mobile app —

requires CPF (Brazilian tax ID), RG, and proof of residence, a real barrier for foreign tourists

Works directly at the gates

More details

Bus fare is R$5.30 (Feb 2026).

Cash is the simplest fallback since getting a Cartão TRI needs Brazilian ID documents.

A bank-card tap-to-pay pilot is rolling out on Carris buses (started on the T1 line), not confirmed fleet-wide as of 2026.

A digital QR-code option exists in the TRI app, but topping it up is built around PIX (Brazilian instant bank transfer), which most foreign visitors can't use.

READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

Full marathon starts early on Sunday morning, so it is best to arrive in Porto Alegre the day before and check the travel time to the start.

Avenida Padre Cacique 1359 has been announced as both the start and finish, so you can use this location to calculate travel time when choosing accommodation.

Saturday’s half marathon, 5K, and 10K are separate from Sunday’s full marathon.

Taking venue crowds and road closures into account, check Packet Pickup, baggage storage, and start corrals in the latest regulations.

For the 6:00 a.m. start, decide what to wear based on the temperature range and local forecast.

Times are local to Porto Alegre. Check the latest official information before the race.
