La Casa Rosada (The Pink House) is located in Buenos Aires’ Plaza Mayo, which as been the center of Argentina’s political institutions since the 1580 foundation of the city of Buenos Aires. The house is the executive mansion and office of the President of Argentina and is known officially as the Casa de Gobierno (House of Government). However, due to its unique baby pink coloring, many people know the mansion as La Casa Rosada. We have two options for running in the Casa Rosada Area.
Short Run- 5.3 km: Loop through the more busy parts of the city. Runners should be aware of their surroundings, and may need to cross some intersections during their route. All areas of this run include sidewalks, so runners will be out of the way of traffic. Thanks to Buenos Aires’ block system, runners can easily explore the streets located inside this loop.
The route also runs through Plaza San Martín, where runners can lengthen their trip by exploring the grounds which are decorated with more than 350 trees all of regional species. Sightseeing highlights at Plaza San Martín include El Monumento a los Caídos en Malvinas, El Monumento del Libertador Jose de San Martín, and Torre Monumental.
Longer Run: Add by running west to Plaza Del Congreso, an extra ~3,5 km there and back, using Avenida Rivadavia, and Avenida Hipólito Yrigoyen, which are pleasantly shaded and have good sidewalks.
Add-Ons: Puerto Madero waterside run, Reserve Ecológica, Parque Mujeres Argentinas, Parque Micaela Bastidas are all nearby.

Buenos Aires' largest and most popular public park, full of attractions and perfect for a run-seeing adventure. There's a lake, rose garden, an area tribute to literary greats, and many lovely paths. Runners can put together several km in the park.
Some of the best waterside and car-free running in Buenos Aires. About 5 km along 4 interlinked docks, connected by wide pathways. Puerto Madero, one of Buenos Aires’ most modern barrios.
The most bucolic off-road running opportunity in Buenos Aires. 900 acre reserve, next to Puerto Madero, with pleasant, wide trails great for running. Perimeter loop is 8 km, with another 2-3 km of interior paths. Open 8am-6pm except Mondays.
The ultimate tour of a handful of Buenos Aires’ many plazas. A nearly 4 mile loop through some 16 plazas, which includes several of the city's important sites. Add to the run by exploring some of the plaza paths or the Bosques de Palermo.
A quick loop between two of Buenos Aires’ most political and historical plazas. Good roads with wide sidewalks connect the them. Can be combined with the Casa Rosada loop for a longer run, or Av. 9 de Julio.
A major, centrally located thoroughfare passing through several parks and plazas. There are wide sidewalks and a bike path along most of the route. It's a good, straight shot, 6.7 km one-way.
Run the widest avenue in the world! With 15+ lanes of traffic, this might not be the most bucolic run, but it's iconic its own way. The Av. 9 de Julio runs for 3+ km from the Retiro district in the north to Constitución station in the south.
Tigre is a lovely waterside town only 28 km from Buenos Aires and easily reachable by train. The signature run is along the Paseo Victoria esplanade along the Lujan River, which can be combined with paths along the Tigre River.
A 75-minute ferry ride from Buenos Aires, this former Portugese settlement in southern Uruguay is a popular visitor destination. Good running along the waterfront (Rambla), Barrio Histórico, on beaches, and some rural agricultural roads.
