'Run to Batuque': race, samba, and barbecue

The project, envisioned by the Bourger Department, Treze Clout, Your ID Store, and supported by ASICS, emerged after a conversation among friends following a 15k run. "Outside, people finish running and throw a party, drink, and eat pizza. But that’s not quite what Brazil is like," they commented. That’s how the idea of having a samba with barbecue came about.

We talked a little with the event organizers, check it out below:

"Being able to be with friends for a running training and then celebrate with barbecue and samba is definitely the best of both worlds." - Cris Efx

"Strengthening our roots more and more is something that makes me very happy, samba with barbecue and friends after a run is pure happiness." - Breno Fernandes

"On the eve of the national samba day, to be able to celebrate this after a run was a dream come true!" - Rudgieri

"Running for Batuque is a celebration of life, and experiencing this unique moment alongside my mother and friends was very special." - Gustavo Treze
