Brazil street running market expansion and safety regulation

Overview

The street running and outdoor sports market in Brazil is experiencing rapid expansion and professionalization. Data indicates that the number of street races held per weekend has grown from 22 in 2017 to 60 currently.

This growth has prompted a heightened focus on athlete safety and standardized protocols. Through a cooperation agreement between the Brazilian Athletics Confederation (CBAt), ABRACEO, and the Brazilian Society of Exercise and Sports Medicine (SBMEE), the CBAt published a Safety and Emergency Plan for Street Races to provide operational guidelines for participant integrity. Additionally, the ‘Corrida Segura’ initiative has been highlighted to address risk identification and emergency planning within an increasingly competitive market.
