A newly inaugurated running track in São Gonçalo was named after Lucas Celestino de Oliveira, a promising 27-year-old runner who lost his life in an accident on the BR-101 highway. The tragic incident occurred on April 8, 2025, when Lucas was struck by a vehicle, leading to the subsequent arrest of the driver involved in the incident. This memorial track serves not only as a tribute to Lucas's passion for running but also to his aspirations of promoting the sport among the community.

The inauguration ceremony, held ten months after the devastating accident, took place within the newly opened Parque RJ Nosso Sonho. Maria Eduarda, Lucas's widow, expressed deep emotion during the event, highlighting how this homage brings a sense of continuity to the dreams that were cut short by his untimely death. As she visited the park, she conveyed her anticipation for the moment Lucas's name would be memorialized in this cherished space, symbolizing both love and loss.

Maria Eduarda shared memories of Lucas's dedication to running and his desire to inspire others. She emphasized that while the pain of his absence is significant, celebrating his legacy through this running track would ensure that his spirit and enthusiasm for the sport continue to live on. This initiative reinforces the importance of community remembrance and highlights how tragic incidents can inspire movements that honor the departed while promoting positive activities like running.
