The run along the Praia Futuro promenade is another nice opportunity in Fortaleza for a pleasant waterfront run. A wide sidewalk runs alongside Av. Clóvis Arrais Mai. It’s not as well developed as the Beira Mar, and is a bit away from the water in sections, but it’s still a good spot for a run. PRO TIP: Praia Futuro is a good beach for running, with firm, packed sand (situationally).

The signature run in Fortaleza is the 3 km Beira Mar waterfront promenade. This can be combined with the promenade along Praia de Iracema and several scenic piers. A festive scene, with great beach & water views, plus Fortaleza's skyline in the background.

Cocó Park, the largest natural urban park in Brazil's north/northeast region, is a great place for a green, shaded run on softer trails. The large green space in the eastern part of the city is a conservation area along the Rio Cocó , with ~2.5 km of trails. Great shade option on a hot day!
