Beira-mar avenue: this is the most popular running course in Fortaleza. Beira-mar has high buildings and a narrow sidewalk full of people walking so maybe you will have to jog next to the cars on the avenue. There are many quiosques and a place called “a praça dos estressados (the stressed people public square)” where you can measure your blood pressure. This course has one of the greatest view of the world: the Atlantic ocean.

There is a great place for running and walking in Fortaleza, not because of the safety and the structure, but because of the course. This place is the Parque Parreão, next to the Eng. João Tomé bus station. The course is 1 km length, but there are other alternative routes since there are two bridges connecting the two sides of the main route. I frequent this park for 7 year and, be amazed, I already run more than 20.000 km since, on average, I run 12 km 6 times a week.
