RUN DAY - ETAPA MAUÁ

Pombo took flight in May 2024 when PE professional Wesley Amorim decided São Caetano do Sul needed a running crew built on freedom, safety, and joy. Around 150 runners of all paces now gather every Tuesday night, united by a philosophy that's beautifully simple: easy pace, long flight. For Pombo, running is self-care, community is fuel, and the real magic happens when people move together with music and mutual support. There's no pressure here, no gatekeeping, just warm energy and a collective belief that running belongs to everyone.

Outra Fé was founded in September 2009 by four runners who shared a conviction that echoed through São Paulo's streets: running is about coming together, not competing. What began as a small group has grown into a diverse community that welcomes tattooed runners, parents, dog owners, dancers, and beer drinkers alike. Outra Fé's philosophy centers on running as therapy, connection, and a faith of its own. They do not race against each other. They grow stronger together. Every run in São Paulo is a chance to move, breathe, and belong, transforming not just how you run, but how you see yourself.

Seven Runners Crew started in November 2016 when seven friends in São Paulo realized no one should train for a race alone. They took to the streets together and made it a tradition. Today, the crew remains small and tight-knit, a group where everyone knows each other's names, paces, and stories. Every Saturday at 8am, they run through the historical heart of São Paulo, letting the city's oldest streets set the pace. Their runs are a moving act of attention, a way to explore centuries of history while moving forward together. Showing up is the ritual that holds it all together.

RockPacers started in February 2018 when six friends discovered that running paired perfectly with rock music. Based in São Paulo, the crew has grown into a vibrant community of around 30 runners who believe movement is better with a soundtrack. Every Wednesday at 7:45 pm, they gather at Praça da Paz inside Ibirapuera Park, where seasoned racers and newcomers alike move through one of São Paulo's finest green spaces powered by good company and shared passion. The vibe is warm, social, and genuinely fun, drawing people who want more than just a run.

Brooklin Running Rats was born in April 2025, inspired by the electric energy of Brooklyn cheerers at the NYC Marathon. Rooted in São Paulo's Brooklin neighbourhood, the crew is built on a simple philosophy: keep running free and joyful. No fees, no prerequisites, no pace pressure, just people moving through the city together. Open to everyone, they draw runners of all backgrounds to São Paulo's south zone every Sunday morning. The vibe is welcoming and grounded, driven by genuine love for the city and each other. Every Sunday at 8:00 a.m., the crew gathers at Shopping Market Place on Av. Dr. Chucri Zaidan for easy-pace runs that pack big energy.
