Night Run Recife begins and ends at the Museu Militar do Forte do Brum, in Recife, Pernambuco. It is a road race held after sunset, offering 5 km and 10 km distances, instead of a typical morning start.
The event is part of the Night Run Fever series, incorporating music and light into the race-night atmosphere. The atmosphere is more akin to a communal gathering than a subdued club race, and demand was high enough that registrations sold out for this edition.
