The track was 2.462 km (1.530 mi) in length, with 12 turns. It started in Avenue Santa María, in the northern side of the Mapocho River, crossing it on Pio Nono Bridge. After rounding Plaza Baquedano, it took the Alameda (Santiago's main avenue) to the west until reaching the Gabriela Mistral Cultural Center, where it turned back to the east and then crossed the Parque Forestal. After following Cardenal Caro Avenue, it turned back to the north in front of the Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts, and crossed the river again, returning to the start point.
