Official event pageWhat this race demands
Caminho dos Santuários is a three-day collective walk covering approximately 56 kilometers across terrain in Espírito Santo, Brazil.
Multi-day endurance
Spanning three consecutive days of travel, the event requires the aerobic capacity and recovery protocols necessary to sustain long daily walking efforts without excessive fatigue accumulation.
Musculoskeletal durability
Covering roughly 56 kilometers on foot over a multi-day period places significant repetitive impact stress on the lower limbs, requiring sound joint and tendon conditioning.
Given the multi-day nature of the walk, athletes should consume 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour during active moving periods to maintain energy stores and support recovery.
