- Where is the swim start and transition area?
- The swim starts at the Porto Vecchio/Portosole area. Transition (T1 and T2) is located within the Portosole marina complex, providing a centralized hub for the race.
- Is the bike course closed to traffic?
- The bike course features significant sections on the Poggio climb and inland roads that are managed by local police with rolling closures, but athletes must remain vigilant.
- How do I get my bike from Nice Airport to Sanremo?
- The most reliable method is a private airport transfer or a pre-booked 'NCC' (Rental with Driver) service. While trains run from Nice to Ventimiglia and then Sanremo, they can be crowded for bike boxes.
- What is the terrain of the run course?
- The run course is almost entirely flat, following the scenic coastal cycling path ('Pista Ciclabile'), making it very fast but exposed to the sun and wind.
- When is athlete registration and packet pickup?
- Registration usually opens on Friday afternoon and all day Saturday at the Expo area in Portosole. Check the official athlete guide for confirmation of your wave times.
- Is a wetsuit required for the swim?
- In October, the water temperature in the Ligurian Sea is typically around 20-22°C. Wetsuits are usually optional for age groupers but mandatory if the temperature drops.
