- Where is the race village and packet pickup?
- Packet pickup is typically located at the Alanya Cultural Centre (Alanya Kültür Merkezi) near Cleopatra Beach, adjacent to the finish line area.
- Is the swim in the sea or a pool?
- The swim is a sea start from Cleopatra Beach. Expect crystal clear water, but be prepared for potential small swells depending on the wind.
- What is the bike course like?
- The bike course is generally flat and fast, following the coastal road. It is usually a multi-lap format which is great for spectators but requires technical focus at the turns.
- How do I get my bike from Antalya Airport (AYT)?
- Private transfers are highly recommended. Many local shuttle companies like 7/24 Transfer offer 'Vito' style vans that specifically accommodate large bike boxes.
- Are wetsuits allowed?
- In late October, water temperatures in Alanya are often around 23-24°C. For Elite/Cup events, it is frequently a non-wetsuit swim, though Age Groupers should bring one just in case.
- Is the run course shaded?
- The run along the Alanya promenade is beautiful but has very little shade. Even in October, the Turkish sun is strong, so use high-SPF sunscreen.
