Looking to take your first steps in the world of running? 🔥 The Corrida Das Fogueiras is the ideal event! 😎 Every last Saturday of June, in the Peniche peninsula, runners set off in the world's largest night race illuminated by bonfires! 🎆 Since 1980, the race kicks off at night 🌙, with the rhythm of flames and headlamps! 🔦 Get ready for the hottest night of the year 🥵, but don't worry, the organizers have got you covered with the seaside nearby 🌊. However, we suggest you stay on course and enjoy watching the Atlantic waves crashing against the cliffs 🪨. Right in the heart of one of the largest traditional fishing ports 🎣 in Portugal, in the district of Leiria, in Estremadura, you'll quickly realize this race is so festive and steeped in traditions of the town that it almost feels like a public holiday! 🤗 But on this festive day 🎉, there’s no rest for your legs: here's the menu you'll be served! 🍽️
