The 5km route begins at Avinguda Meritxell, passing through Avinguda Carlemany, Carrer Copríncep François Mitterrand, Avinguda de les Nacions Unides, Carrer dels Paraires, Avinguda Esteve Albert, Avinguda Consell d'Europa, Pont de París, Camí del Riu, Camí de Casadet, Avenues de Tarragona and Salou, to Estadi Comunal, and back to Avinguda Meritxell.

Public buses will adjust routes. Southbound L1, L2, and L5 lines will bypass the Nacions Unides stop (708) because of the closure there, diverting via Avinguda Consell de la Terra to the Consell de la Terra stop (706).
