laberinto baires 7 circuitos
A large, elaborate design that takes advantage of the city layout. I like it a lot.

Laberinto2
This one appears to be easier to implement, especially with relay runners.

labindep
This one doesn't twist and turn like traditional labyrinths of legend.

laberintochas
An impressive replica of an athletic style labyrinth.


If I were allowed to have a vote, I would choose Laberinto2.

We choose that city zone because is some of the typicals "BA postals". The center of the seven circuit labyrinth and labyrinth 2 is the Obelisco.
The problem i see in those lab. are the big quantity of cars during the day in that part of the city. The only low traffic day is Sunday...
By the other hand, BA is not a good city for bike riding.
So, should we run the labyrinth by walk?
We didnt analyze the car travelling posibility: we have to think about the street's direction... the labyrint will lose its shape or will be giant.
What should we do?

A fast block counting (One block = aprox 100m) :


labyrinth2 and labindep = aprox 5 Km
7 circuits = aprox 19 Km

Parque chas labyrinth (the circular one) Is hard to tell...

It seems to me that Sunday is the day to do it. And early morning or early evening. I keep imagining that a car would have to have two players in it because at some points along the way, the passenger would have to hop out of the car with the trackstick and hoof it to the next corner while the car driver navigated around one-way streets or other obstacles (contruction, etc) to pick up the passenger at the next possible point.

That seven-circuit labyrinth looks great. It's even the same design as classical seven circuit, just on a rectangular grid.

I've copied the coin posted in Ariadne's forum.

The Cretan labyrinthbuilders would be proud of you to see it in Buenos Aires!

Good work, you and VicorSueiro, MauroKing and [M]!

Well...i was gonna tell you to go by bike, but then i reread your post. lol
i don't know how we are gonna do here in SP either. the chosen place is a lot quieter than the rest of the city, but some paths cross a main avenue with huge traffic, so i don't have a solution yet.
Like Jasper said, the best idea is to go by car and then relay the trackstick as needed.
This will be hard.
