The green circuit starts at Av. de Mayo and Perú, continues through Bolívar, Av. Rivadavia, Av. Leandro N. Alem, Av. Córdoba, Av. Carlos Pellegrini and Av. Presidente Roque Sáenz Peña (Diagonal Norte) until Av. Rivadavia , where it ends.
For its part, the black circuit also starts at Av. de Mayo and Perú, but continues along Av. Hipólito Yrigoyen, Av. Paseo Colón, Av. Independencia, Bernardo de Irigoyen, Carlos Calvo, Av. 9 de Julio, Hipólito Yrigoyen, Bernardo de Irigoyen and Av. Julio A. Roca (Diagonal Sur), where it ends.
