- Where is the transition area located?
- The transition area is located within the sprawling grounds of the Club Village Spiaggia Romea, typically near the mini-lake or the central sports hub.
- Is the swim in the sea or a lake?
- The Irondelta swim usually takes place in the private lake of Spiaggia Romea, which guarantees flat, calm water even if the Adriatic is choppy.
- When is packet pickup available?
- Packet pickup typically opens on Saturday afternoon at the race village (Spiaggia Romea) and continues early Sunday morning before the transition area shuts.
- Are roads closed for the bike leg?
- The course uses public roads through the Po Delta Park; while traffic is managed by local police and marshals, it is often 'controlled' rather than fully closed, so stay alert.
- Is the bike course drafting-legal?
- No, the Medio (Middle Distance) typically follows non-drafting rules. Tri-bikes and aero-bars are permitted and highly recommended for the flat course.
- What kind of surface is the run?
- The run is flat and mostly follows paved paths and dirt trails within the nature park and lake perimeter. Standard road shoes are fine.
