The first-ever Maratona Internacional de Fortaleza takes place on Sunday, 12 April 2026, celebrating the city’s 300th anniversary with a major new running festival on the Fortaleza seafront. Starting at the Aterro de Iracema, runners can choose between 42 km marathon, 21 km half marathon, 10 km and 5 km road distances, all following the coastal avenue from the Beira-Mar area towards highlights such as Praia do Futuro and the Dunas da Sabiaguaba nature park. The route is fully paved and predominantly flat to gently undulating, hugging the beachfront “orla” with long exposed sections where the heat and humidity of Fortaleza’s tropical climate become part of the challenge. With an expected field of around 10,000 participants and extensive on-course support including hydration points, cooling tunnels and medical teams, the event is designed as a high-profile, international-standard road marathon weekend for Brazil’s northeast.
