On 5 October 2025, the Zayed Charity Run will arrive in Latin America for the very first time, hosted at the iconic Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro.

Launched in Abu Dhabi to honor the legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the Run has grown into a global movement uniting sport, community, and philanthropy, with memorable editions in cities such as Cairo, New York, and Miami. Now, this legacy continues in Brazil, with its first edition hosted in Rio de Janeiro.

Proceeds from the Rio edition will support Rio Solidário, a respected nonprofit that partners with government and community organizations to promote social inclusion and provide vital support to vulnerable groups, including children, women, and families in need.
