It is with great disappointment that I have to announce that the Rainforest Ultra 2026 has been cancelled.
Despite many months of preparation, we simply did not manage to attract enough participants to make the event financially and logistically viable. This was a very difficult decision. Many people in the communities of the RESEX Tapajós-Arapiuns, ICMBio and other local partners have invested time, enthusiasm and trust in this project. I would like to sincerely thank everyone who supported the idea of creating one of the world’s most unique trail running experiences.
The Rainforest Ultra was never just about organising a race.
The main objective has always been to create a permanently marked long-distance trail network through the RESEX Tapajós-Arapiuns and the FLONA that brings sustainable tourism and new economic opportunities to the local communities while protecting one of the most beautiful rainforest regions on Earth.
That vision has not changed and work on the trail project will continue. I will provide updates here as the project develops.
