Great course at most times of the day. No hills; combines road, turf and grass plus plenty of good air ("buenos aires"). Some water and bathrooms on the course. Very good in security matters. My favorite circuit for daily running in the City of Buenos Aires is Costanera Norte (Northern Riverside Drive). Starting from the Planetary (Av. Sarmiento corner Av. Figueroa Alcorta) down through Av. Sarmiento, across the railway start to border the city airport. Continue this bordering of the airport by the Rio de la Plata riverside till the University of Buenos Aires campus. Across the railway thru a walkers bridge go left by the park alongside Av. Figueroa Alcorta. At the corner with La Pampa St. enter the woods with an artificial lake alongside the golf course. After the lake, thru the woods and alongside to Av. Figueroa Alcorta all the way till (again) Av. Sarmiento, which was the starting point. The length of the above mentioned circuit is around 10k. Entering the campus and/or bordering the whole lake (2.1k) the circuit may be further extended. The beauty of the woods combined with the magnificent riversight is superb. The noise of the airplanes is the surmountable pitfall.
