- Is the swim in the ocean or a lake?
- The swim takes place in the Pacific Ocean at Playa Agua Dulce. Expect a beach start with moderate swell, though the break is usually manageable for experienced swimmers.
- What is the bike course profile?
- The course is primarily flat and fast, utilizing the Circuito de Playas (Costa Verde). It is generally sheltered from the wind by the cliffs, but crosswinds can occur.
- Where is packet pickup located?
- Packet pickup traditionally takes place at the race expo near the transition area in Chorrillos/Playa Agua Dulce 48 hours prior to the race.
- Are wetsuits allowed?
- Water temperatures in August usually range between 15-17°C, meaning wetsuits are almost always mandatory for safety and temperature reasons.
- How do I get from the airport to Miraflores?
- Use official airport taxis (Green Taxi) or the ‘QuickLlama’ shuttle. Avoid unofficial street taxis. The drive takes 45-90 minutes depending on Lima's notorious traffic.
- Can I cycle on the Costa Verde road before the race?
- The Costa Verde is high-speed and dangerous for cyclists outside of race windows. Use the dedicated cycle paths on the top of the cliffs in Miraflores for training.
