In Recife, besides Parque da Jaqueira (shadowed 1,000 meters track), there is the "Avenida de Boa Viagem" sidewalk where you can run enjoying the beautiful view of Boa Viagem beach. This sidewalk is 6,800 meters long with marks each 200 meters. The path color changes each km. If we add the sidewalk along Piedade beach (at the neighborhood city Jabarão dos Guararapes, it's the same sidewalk and there is just a sign to indicating that we are in other city) to this running course we have 8,000 meters of a flat running course with "quiosques" (where you can drink beverages), showers and work out devices each 600 meters. You can do a 16 km training on this sidewalk!

In Recife we have the parks: "13 de Maio" and "Parque da Jaqueira". Both are full of trees and safe.
