Question 1

Where exactly does the swim take place?

Accepted Answer

The swim is held at the Piscine Signorelli complex in Peschiera del Garda, typically in a 50m outdoor Olympic pool, though lake segments may vary by ultra-format.

Question 2

What is the bike course like for the Deca?

Accepted Answer

It is usually a flat, repetitive lap circuit around the Frassino Lake area to ensure safety and easy access to support crews every few kilometres.

Question 3

How do I handle nutrition for a multi-day Deca?

Accepted Answer

Athletes must set up a personal 'pit' in the designated crew area. It is highly recommended to bring your own familiar fuel, as local shops close by 20:00.

Question 4

Can I rent a bike locally for the race?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but for a Deca Ultra, it is strongly advised to bring your own bike and only use local shops like Garda Bike Shop for emergency spares or tools.

Question 5

What is the weather like in Peschiera in early September?

Accepted Answer

Expect mild to warm conditions. Mornings can be humid near the lake (15°C) and afternoons can reach 26°C. Rainfall is possible but usually brief.

Question 6

Is there a mandatory athlete briefing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, usually held the afternoon before the race start at the venue. Attendance is critical due to the complex timing and support rules of Ultra-Triathlons.
