The 45th Corrida das Fogueiras is a classic nighttime road race held on June 27, 2026, in Peniche, Portugal. The event features a 15K race, a 5K walk called Corrida das Fogueirinhas, and a 500m kids’ run, all starting at Avenida do Porto de Pesca with finishes at Marina de Peniche or the same location for the kids.<\/p>\n

This race is unique for its nighttime setting illuminated by strategically placed bonfires along the course, creating a festive and communal atmosphere that culminates in a traditional sardine feast hosted by the community and municipality. The event welcomes senior and veteran runners for the 15K race, with classifications by overall, age groups, and teams.<\/p>\n

The race includes organized start boxes by running pace to ensure a smooth experience for all athletes, from elite to recreational runners, and offers a family-friendly environment with the kids’ and walk segments.<\/p>\n","organizer_description":"
