SUMMARY:Buenos Aires Marathon

The course begins and ends in the lush Parque 3 de Febrero in the Palermo neighborhood\, often referred to as the “Bosques de Palermo.” From there\, runners head south along the grand Avenida del Libertador\, passing through Recoleta and toward the city center. One of the most iconic segments is the run down Avenida 9 de Julio\, one of the widest avenues in the world\, where participants pass the towering Obelisco and the majestic Teatro Colón. \nThe route continues through the historic Plaza de Mayo\, providing a view of the Casa Rosada (Government House) and the Cabildo. Runners then venture into the soulful neighborhood of La Boca\, passing the colorful streets of Caminito and the legendary La Bombonera stadium. The return leg takes athletes through the modern\, redeveloped Puerto Madero district\, alongside the Río de la Plata\, before heading back north past the River Plate Stadium (El Monumental) and finishing in the vibrant greenery of Palermo. \nRace Details\nScheduled for September 20\, 2026\, the Buenos Aires Marathon is a World Athletics Label Road Race and is certified by AIMS.
