Question 1

What kind of bike is recommended for XTERRA Cabo?

Accepted Answer

A lightweight cross-country (XC) mountain bike is ideal. The course features sandy desert trails and technical climbs where efficiency and traction on loose dirt are key.

Question 2

Where is the packet pickup and athlete briefing?

Accepted Answer

Packet pickup typically takes place at the Solaz Resort on the Friday before the race. The mandatory athlete briefing is also held there adjacent to the transition zone.

Question 3

How do I get my bike from the airport to the hotel?

Accepted Answer

Pre-book a private van transfer (like CaboVillas or TransCabo) and specify 'oversized luggage'. Standard taxis at SJD often cannot accommodate full bike boxes.

Question 4

Are wetsuits allowed in the Cabo ocean swim?

Accepted Answer

Water temperatures in November are usually around 24-26°C. The swim is typically non-wetsuit for age groupers, but always check the final official reading on race morning.

Question 5

Is the run course flat or technical?

Accepted Answer

Expect a mix. While there are flatter beach sections, the majority of the trail run involves undulating desert terrain with cactus-lined paths and some loose sand.

Question 6

Can I rent a high-end MTB locally?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but availability is limited during race week. It is highly recommended to reserve via Baja Ride or similar shops at least 2 months in advance.
