- Where is the swim course located?
- The swim takes place in the Rio Yi, usually starting at Playa Elías Regules. The water is fresh and current is generally low, but visibility can be murky.
- Is a wetsuit required?
- In December, the water temperature in Uruguay typically exceeds 22°C, making the swim likely non-wetsuit for elite and development categories.
- What is the bike course surface like?
- The course is held on paved roads which are generally flat with some slight undulations. Traffic is fully closed for the event.
- Where is the nearest international airport?
- Carrasco International Airport (MVD) in Montevideo is about 190km away. You will need to take a bus (EGA or Turil) or rent a car for the 2.5-hour drive.
- When is packet pickup?
- Registration usually takes place the day before the race at the Casa de la Cultura or the Municipal Sports Office near the venue.
- Is the run course shaded?
- The run near the riverfront has some tree cover, but December in Uruguay is very hot and humid. Hydration at every station is critical.
