“The days spent with my family were truly wonderful and blessed!”

After failing to get a place in the half marathon wanted at the 2025 Rio event, the runner entered the 10K instead. The runner looks back fondly on the time spent with the family.

More details

Getting to the start

Metro Catete (MetroRio, Linha 1), exit and walk down Rua Silveira Martins toward the Aterro do Flamengo

Start at Aterro do Flamengo, level of Bar do Zeca Pagodinho (Praia do Flamengo, 20). Bib gives free MetroRio access -- confirm operating hours since early waves may start before normal opening (MetroRio has opened as early as 4am for past editions).

Arrive 40+ min before your wave. Course detail per the 2025-2026 10K Athlete Guides -- start/finish and Catete metro access consistent across recent editions.

Note: in 2026 the 10K ran on the festival's Friday (not the main Sunday marathon day) -- a similar Friday slot is plausible for 2027 but unconfirmed. No dedicated shuttle; free MetroRio for bib holders is the recommended access.

IC card

RioCard / Bilhete Único

Metro stations (e.g. Carioca, Jardim Oceânico) or dedicated RioCard kiosks

Works directly at the gates The metro and the large majority of municipal buses now accept contactless bank cards directly at the gate/reader.

Some older buses or vans still require a physical RioCard/Bilhete Único, or payment via Pix QR code (Brazil's local instant-payment system, not usable by most foreign cards), so carry a little cash as backup off the main tourist routes.
