Developments: 2. In late July 2026 the World Trail Races (WTR) league announced the second edition of its Serra Pelada stage, scheduled for 2 August in Curionópolis, Pará. The event was to feature 4‑km, 6‑km and 10‑km trail runs, a kids’ race, and a range of community activities such as zumba classes, an artisan market and cultural performances. All slots were offered free or in exchange for food‑basket donations, with a 50 % increase in participant places compared with the inaugural 2025 race, and priority given to residents of nearby towns. Vale, acting under Brazil’s Sports Incentive Law, sponsored the race to promote inclusive sport and local economic growth. On 1 August, organisers reported that the race had taken place as planned. Participants ran the designated courses and the event highlighted local projects, including the Bordadeiras de Serra Pelada collective and the Museu de Zé Branquinho. Officials emphasized that the race served to boost community‑based tourism, showcase regional culture and generate economic activity for residents, reinforcing the goals set out in the earlier announcement. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-01: Serra Pelada hosts World Trail Races to boost community tourism Serra Pelada in Pará hosted the second World Trail Races, with 4‑10 km trail runs and a kids race, sponsored by Vale to promote community tourism and boost the local economy. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/serra-pelada-hosts-world-trail-races-to-boost-community-tourism ### 2026-07-24: World Trail Races returns to Serra Pelada in Pará for second edition World Trail Races returns to Serra Pelada, Pará on 2 Aug 2026 with free social slots, expanded races and community activities, backed by Vale. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/world-trail-races-returns-to-serra-pelada-in-par-for-second-edition --- Cite as: World Trail Races in Serra Pelada.
