Running events are increasingly evident in the Brazilian sports scene and several factors motivate people to practice it. This article aims to analyze the profile of the runners and running events in the city of Curitiba-PR. Internal control spreadsheets, reports and official calendar provided by the Municipal Secretariat of Sports, Leisure and Youth (SMELJ) were used as sources. The results showed that the great majority of the runners of Curitiba's running circuit are male, predominately between 30 and 50 years old. Moreover, it was possible to observe a significant decrease in the participation of wheelchair and visually impaired individuals in the running of Curitiba. We conclude that the data found in the study point to characteristics that suggest that running has practitioners with good economic position and its events are known as fashion running.
