We recommend arrive at the Swim Start and T1 by car. There are no private parking open at these times, so vehicles must be parked on public roads near Streets A, B, C, and D, as well as the streets close to the Yacht Club. Another option is to park near Rodovia dos Náugrafos, Travessa A, and Iate Street.
We advise arriving early, the traffic may be difficult because there will be a lot of people going to the same location. We also suggest avoiding parking near the Marinas side and Rua José Francisco Matias. The Airton Senna highway (SE100) towards Praia da Caueira, José Francisco Matias Street, as well as avenues Dr. José Domingos Maia and Inácio Barbosa, will be completely closed due to the race’s cycling route.
These streets will only reopen after the cycling route is completed. For the safety of the athletes, no vehicle will be able to leave this area until approximately 11:00 AM
