During the race, the streets along the route will be partially closed with the accompaniment of CET-Rio agents.
The route will begin in front of the 1st Army Police Battalion, in Lamartine Babo Square, continuing along Maracanã Avenue, on the lane towards Alto da Boa Vista, next to the sidewalk, in the section between Lamartine Babo Square and Visconde de Itamarati Street. Runners will continue to Varnhagen Square, accessing Visconde de Itamarati Street, also against the flow of traffic.
