Sesimbra Night Run

Sesimbra Night Run is a 5 km night road race and walk held in Sesimbra, a seaside town in Portugal. It begins after dark, with participants starting from Marginal de Sesimbra at Praça da Califórnia, the same location as the finish. The event is open to those over 16 and is designed as an accessible evening run rather than a demanding long-distance event. The course follows the waterfront and adjacent urban streets, incorporating some of Sesimbra’s main roads and avenues, with town lights guiding the way. The sea, the nighttime setting, and moderate evening temperatures distinguish it from a daytime road race. It attracts individuals seeking to run, walk, enjoy family time, or socialize, and is organized by Associação O Mundo da Corrida with backing from the Sesimbra municipal council.
