Yellow May – Trilhas de Sarzedo

On May 28, 2023, the city of Sarzedo witnessed a highly innovative event: “Trilhas de Sarzedo,” an Itaminas initiative held to celebrate Maio Amarelo (Yellow May, Brazil’s traffic-safety awareness campaign) and raise awareness about road safety. The idea was to make the population aware of the importance of traffic safety, bringing together runners and cyclists to cover a 5km route to Clube Itaminense.

Along the way, participants were able to enjoy the scenery of Sarzedo, in a mix of adrenaline through the natural trails, where the goal was not just to reach the destination, but also to enjoy the experience and connect with nature.

After the route, the runners and cyclists finally arrived at Clube Itaminense, where they were welcomed with a hearty breakfast, providing well-deserved energy recovery after all the physical effort.

Several outdoor activities were held, such as a series of functional exercises with the Physical Education instructor from Itaminas’s Saúde e Fé program, as well as a dance session with the Mulheres em Movimento project from Instituto Itaviva. Each participant received a medal in recognition of all their dedication and endurance.

“Trilhas de Sarzedo” was a success, bringing together sport, awareness, and interaction with the community, and through it, the message of traffic safety was spread, highlighting the importance of preserving lives and promoting safer traffic for everyone.
