CEPEUSP – University of São Paulo Sports Center
Cidade Universitária is the main campus of the University of São Paulo, covering more than 3.7 million square meters, so there are several parking spaces available. The circulation to other parts of the campi or the city is better with your own vehicle or a rent car, if you came from another city.
To make it easier for athletes as well as their families and friends, we recommend using the WAZE – GPS and Live Traffic app. All traffic restrictions related to the race will be available to users during race week.
Optimize your time and avoid delays by following the highlighted points on the map.
✓ P1 USP
✓ P3 USP
✓ Praça da Reitoria

✓ IRONMAN Village
The nearest subway station is Butantã (yellow line), located approximately 2 km away. Next to it, there is a bus terminal with some lines that go directly to the University.

Remember that Itaú BBA IRONMAN 70.3 São Paulo is an outdoor event, so it’s better to be prepared for all kind of weather conditions: wear comfortable clothes, bring a hat and sunglasses, and don’t forget the sunscreen and a water bottle! São Paulo is also known as the land of drizzle (Terra da Garoa), so we also suggest taking a jacket and umbrella with you.
We hope you have a fantastic time and enjoy all the race moments.
