There's no more iconic postcard of Rio de Janeiro than Christ the Redeemer. Now imagine getting to the top running. I've experienced this twice and secured my registration for the next edition of the Cristo Half Marathon, taking place on the 19th, with 21km and 10km routes. This is one of those races you don't run just with your legs. Arriving at the feet of Christ is almost magical: from the top of Corcovado, Rio at your feet and Christ, with open arms, as if saying, "come, it was worth the effort".

This time, Olympikus is leading the charge, the official sports brand of the race, which chose the Cristo Half Marathon as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations.

"We are very excited for the Cristo Half Marathon, which brings one of Brazil's most iconic landmarks to the brand's 50th anniversary calendar. Having the finish line near the feet of Christ the Redeemer reinforces how much sports connect perseverance, emotion, and history," highlights Bianca Dallegrave, Olympikus marketing manager.
