The route of the Road Rally consists of two stages:

1. "Yekaterinburg – Kazan": "Youth" stage

The start of the "Youth" route will take place in Yekaterinburg. Foreign students from BRICS+ countries studying at Russian universities will take part in the Road Rally. The students will finish in Kazan, where they will pass the baton to the participants of the Road Rally, representatives of the business community from the BRICS+ countries.

2. "Kazan-Moscow": a stage for representatives of the BRICS business community
