About the event
In 2026 Festival Brasil Ride lasted four days: one day for race pack collection and three race days. Options were the three-day MTB Pro race (solo or as a pair), a three-day E-Bike Pro race, the one-day MTB Sport race, a Tour route and a kids' ride. The prologue is ridden in start waves (2026: every ten minutes per category). Pairs ride every stage together; a gap of more than two minutes at the finish or at checkpoints costs a 20-minute penalty. MTB Pro is open from age 15, the Sport race from age 12.
The courses mix trails, dirt roads and tarmac, are marked with lime, tape and signs and are not closed to traffic. Support vehicles are prohibited, and outside assistance is only allowed at the designated feed and service points; everyone carries their own food, tube, pump and tools, and one of the water stations has a basic tech post. The time limit for each stage is announced on race day. E-bikes may not swap batteries; in 2026 one e-bike stage finished in Pardinho, around 30 km from Botucatu, and riders had to organise their own way back.
The arena with expo, food stalls and stage is next to Botucatu's municipal sports hall (Ginásio Municipal). According to the organiser, those flying in are best served by landing in Campinas (Viracopos) or São Paulo and continuing via the SP-280 or SP-300; accommodation is booked independently.
