Regional sporting events continue across Brazil, expanding from inclusive athletics and mountain biking to large-scale international competitions. In Florianópolis, the Maratona Internacional de Floripa is expected to attract 19,000 athletes from 26 countries, with an estimated economic impact of R$ 100 million. This event includes 42km, 21km, and 5km races and will necessitate significant traffic adjustments, such as specific vehicle access hours for the Ponte Hercílio Luz.

Other regional activities include the 39th Corrida Duque de Caxias in Jacobina, the 2nd Cicloturismo in Ilhéus, and the 27th Volta Ciclística de Santa Catarina. In Balneário Piçarras, Olympic volleyball champion Fabiana Claudino is set to lead a specialized volleyball camp, while the 2nd Gastronomic Festival in Governador Celso Ramos seeks to promote tourism through a circuit of 17 local restaurants.
