5K races near Maceió

The 9º Circuito Permanente Run is a street race series held in Maceió, the capital of Alagoas in northeastern Brazil. It takes place over two days in October, offering 5 km, 10 km, and 21 km distances, allowing participants to select a short road race or a half marathon. The event is organized by Farmácia Permanente. Available race details indicate a standard city road-running format, distinct from trail or track events. The primary characteristic is its three-distance offering within Maceió.

The Recife Night Run begins and ends at the Museu Militar do Forte do Brum, located on Praça da Comunidade Luso Brasileira in Recife, Pernambuco. This is a night race offering 5 km and 10 km distances, designed to be run after sunset instead of the usual morning road-race format. The location provides the event with a distinct local connection: participants assemble at Forte do Brum, a historic military fort situated near Recife’s old port. Music and lights contribute to the race’s ambiance, with organizers presenting the evening as both a run and a communal gathering. Entries have sold out, parking is complimentary, and official links provide access to photos, results, and race regulations.

15K da Virada is a New Year's Eve road race in Maceió, Alagoas, starting from the Memorial à República parking area in Jaraguá. The primary event is 15 km, with a 5 km option beginning shortly after, and both races commence very early to avoid the day's heat. Entry is managed with a race bib and wristband, creating a controlled environment rather than an open street event. The 15K route includes frequent water stations at regular intervals, with additional water support near the beginning and end of the course. Runners in the 15K also receive isotonic drinks near the halfway turnaround. Post-race, participants enter an area offering fruit, water, massage services, and live music. Overall prizes are awarded for both distances, while age-group awards are specific to the 15K.
