- Where is the race village and packet pickup located?
- Packet pickup and the expo are typically located at the Laghetto dell'EUR (EUR Lake). You must bring a valid ID and your World Triathlon license.
- How do I get my bike from Fiumicino Airport to the hotel?
- Book a large-capacity taxi (NCC) in advance. The Leonardo Express train is fast to central Rome, but for the EUR district, a direct van transfer is more practical with a bike box.
- Are wetsuits allowed in the EUR lake?
- Wait for the official measurement 1 hour before the start. In October, water temps in Rome usually hover around 19-21°C, making wetsuits likely for Age Groupers and optional/prohibited for Elites.
- What is the bike course surface like?
- The course is technical and fast, primarily on wide asphalt roads within the EUR district, but be aware of some sections with typical Roman 'sanpietrini' cobblestones and expansion joints.
- Where can I do a final open water swim practice?
- Swimming in the EUR lake is strictly prohibited except during official race sessions. For sea swimming, head to Ostia, which is a 30-minute train ride from EUR Magliana.
- Is there parking near the start line?
- Parking in EUR is limited on race day due to road closures. It is highly recommended to stay within walking distance or use the Metro B (Palasport or Fermi stops).
