The swim typically takes place in the waters off the Caribbean coast near the Parque Vargas/Playa Los Baños area, with a beach entry.

Question 2

Is the bike course flat?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Limon course is notoriously flat, following the coastal road. However, it can be very windy and the road surface is varied.

Is it humid during the race?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Limon is tropical. Expect humidity levels above 80%, making the run segment feel significantly harder than the temperature suggests.
