RUN 7

RUN 7

The RUN 7 is the town race of Paraty Brazil by UTMB, and the only one held on the Sunday. Instead of the forest, it runs through the historic centre and the attractions around it, as the organiser puts it, on a 7 km course with just 50 m of climbing and 59 m of descent. The organiser calls it the perfect challenge for short-distance enthusiasts.

With a 2-hour limit it can be walked, and it starts at 07:00. It comes after the long races are over, which makes it a natural race for family and friends who came to Paraty to support someone in the PTR distances, and for anyone who wants to see the old town at running pace without a mountain in the way.

Seven kilometres in town hardly needs following, but a runner may still want to send a link to someone who is not there. On Livebib the runner shares a link to their own broadcast, opened in a browser with no account or app: position on the course line, distance covered and a finish estimate that updates as the race goes. Anything estimated is marked as estimated, never shown as measured, and the runner decides who gets the link.
