- Where exactly is the packet pickup?
- Packet pickup usually takes place at the Complejo Deportivo Municipal Mar Bella on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Check your official start wave email for specific times.
- What is the best way to reach the venue from the city centre?
- Take the L4 (Yellow Line) Metro to the Poble Nou or Selva de Mar stations. From there, it is a 10-minute walk to the Mar Bella sports complex.
- Are there lockers or bag drops available?
- Yes, the event provides a supervised bag drop area within the athletes-only zone. Space is limited, so bring only what you need to race.
- What footwear is recommended for DEKA Barcelona?
- The event is held indoors on a hard sports-court surface. Wear high-traction functional fitness shoes (like Reebok Nano or Nike Metcon) rather than plush running shoes.
- Is there parking available at Mar Bella?
- Street parking is extremely difficult in this area. There are paid public garages nearby, such as the BSM Garcia Fària, but public transport is highly recommended.
- When will I receive my specific start time?
- Start waves are typically released 3 to 7 days before the event via email and posted on the official DEKA/Spartan Spain website.
