- Where is the transition area located?
- The transition area is typically situated at Plaza de España or adjacent to the Marina de Melilla, very close to Playa de la Hípica.
- What is the swim condition like at Playa de la Hípica?
- It is generally a sheltered beach with calm Mediterranean waters, though the shallow entry requires a tactical dolphin-striking start.
- Do I need a car in Melilla?
- No. Melilla is very compact. All race venues, hotels, and restaurants are within a 15-minute walk or a very short bike ride.
- How do I get my bike to Melilla from mainland Spain?
- Most athletes fly via Madrid or Malaga. Ensure you pre-book your bike box on the ATR-72 turboprop planes used for Melilla as space is limited.
- Is the bike course technical?
- The course is mostly flat and fast along the coastal roads (Paseo Marítimo), but it features several 180-degree dead turns that test bike handling.
- Where can I find the race briefing?
- Briefings are usually held at the Real Club Marítimo de Melilla, located within the Marina area.
