- Where exactly is the swim start?
- The swim typically takes place in the waters off the Caribbean coast near the Parque Vargas/Playa Los Baños area, with a beach entry.
- Is the bike course flat?
- Yes, the Limon course is notoriously flat, following the coastal road. However, it can be very windy and the road surface is varied.
- Are wetsuits allowed?
- Given the Caribbean sea temperature (usually 27-29°C), the race is almost certainly non-wetsuit for Elites and Development Cup participants.
- How do I get my bike from San Jose?
- The most reliable way is a private transfer or a rented SUV. Limon is about a 3.5 to 4-hour drive from SJO airport via Route 32.
- Where is packet pickup?
- Race briefings and packet pickup are traditionally held at the municipal building or a designated cultural centre near the Parque Vargas.
- What is the traffic like on race day?
- The main coastal road is usually closed for the race, but expect significant congestion on side streets in Limon city centre.
- Is it humid during the race?
- Yes, Limon is tropical. Expect humidity levels above 80%, making the run segment feel significantly harder than the temperature suggests.
