- How do I get to Ceuta with my bike?
- Most athletes fly into Málaga (AGP) or Jerez (XRY), take a bus/train to Algeciras, and then a fast ferry. Transmediterranea and Baleària ferries allow bike boxes and assembled bikes for a small fee.
- Is the swim in the sea or a harbour?
- The swim typically takes place at Playa de la Ribera, a protected beach near the city centre. The water is usually calm but can have a slight current near the jetty.
- What is the bike course profile?
- The course is generally undulating with sharp turns. It involves several laps through city streets and along the coast, requiring good technical bike handling skills.
- Where is the packet pickup?
- Registration usually takes place at the Gran Casino Ceuta or near the Hotel Puerta de África on the Friday and Saturday before the race.
- Do I need a passport to enter Ceuta?
- Ceuta is part of Spain and the EU/Schengen Area. However, due to its location in North Africa, there are identity checks at the ferry port and airport. EU citizens only need an ID, others may need passports/visas.
- Is the run course flat?
- The run is almost entirely flat, following the Paseo de las Palmeras and the maritime promenade, providing a fast surface for the final discipline.
