Ten completed editions through April 2026; cancelled 2020 and 2021 editions are excluded. Timing PDF/current athletics results take precedence over gallery discrepancies for 2025 and 2026. The gallery’s 2025 women’s 2:32:17 is erroneous; the official timing PDF gives 2:39:17. The published 2024 official results PDF identifies Helen Baltazar first in 2:50:13; the organizer gallery rounds to 2:50:14 and one contemporary report incorrectly names second-placed Tadesu Tafa Weka (2:50:50). The timing PDF mark is used.

Typical race weather
April in São Paulo
- Average daytime high
- 25.3°C
- Average overnight low
- 16.1°C
- Average monthly precipitation
- 84 mm
April has warm daytime averages followed by cooler nights. A light racing outfit and a removable layer for waiting cover the difference between those conditions. Average daily highs are 25.3°C and overnight lows 16.1°C. Average precipitation totals about 84 mm over the whole month. Rain preparation is sensible, but the total does not give the chance or timing of rain during the race. These are historical regional averages, not a forecast or race-hour temperatures; the coast, hills and start line may differ.

What to wear
- Racing: a technical T-shirt or singlet with shorts is a useful starting point; adjust for your comfort and the forecast.
- Waiting at the start: bring a removable light layer; use a rain shell or poncho if rain is forecast.
- After finishing: keep a dry top and an extra layer in your finish bag.
- These are editorial clothing suggestions. Check the forecast close to race day and adapt to your own comfort.
