- What kind of tires are recommended for the Lošinj MTB course?
- The terrain is very rocky and sharp. Use tires with reinforced sidewalls (e.g., EXO or SnakeSkin) and ensure you are running a tubeless setup with fresh sealant to avoid pinch flats.
- Where is the transition area and packet pickup?
- Registration and packet pickup are usually held at the Vitality Hotel Punta, while the Main Transition (T1/T2) is located near the harbour in Mali Lošinj or Čikat Bay depending on the specific year's layout.
- Is the swim in the sea or a bay?
- The swim takes place in the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea, typically in a sheltered bay like Čikat. Wetsuits are usually permitted as water temperatures in May range from 16-18°C.
- How technical is the run course?
- It is a trail run that follows coastal paths. Expect uneven rocks, pine needles, and some technical limestone sections. Trail shoes with good toe protection are highly recommended.
- Can I reach Mali Lošinj without a car?
- It is possible but takes planning. You can take a catamaran from Rijeka or Zadar, or a bus from Rijeka. However, a car is recommended for transporting bike boxes easily.
