Ultra Trail Amazônica is a multi-day non stop survivor event held in the Amazon rainforest featuring Trail Run and Mountain Bike formats. The event takes place around Manaus and routes include trails, beaches along the Rio Negro, igarapé beds, rivers and passages through indigenous and riverside communities.

Course planning is finalized at river low-water peak to verify river and igarapé crossings and possible deviations. Control points are placed on average every 8 km to 10 km and provide water; designated feeding control points offer meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner), fruit, regional foods and emergency, rescue and medical services.
