Why is it feminine?
Corrida is feminine because it derives from the Latin feminine past participle "cucurrita" (from "currere," to run). In Portuguese, action nouns (nomina actionis) formed from past participles typically inherit the feminine gender of their Latin source forms. The -a ending in Portuguese also reinforces feminine gender, making "corrida" (meaning "a running" or "race") naturally feminine.
