PARKING

We suggest go by car. 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 are better with your own vehicle or a rent car, if you came from another city.

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.

On Sunday, RACE DAY, we would like to remind you that due to traffic restrictions on Av. Professor Mello Moraes (in front of CEPEUSP), parking must be done in the streets near Conjunto Residencial USP (CRUSP), Praça do Relógio, and the Rectory building. We suggest using a taxi or a transportation app for greater convenience.

ESTIMATED TIMES

If you intend to take family and friends to the swimming start at 6:00 am, we suggest arriving at USP through Gate 3 by 5:00 am. Fans can stay in the last 500 meters of the swimming route. The area at the beginning of the swimming course will be isolated for the safety of athletes and the public.

If your idea is to arrive after the swimming, remember that the entrance will be only through Gate 3 until 1:00 pm.

 The first athletes should start switching from swimming to cycling at 6:20 am. The transition from cycling to running will occur at 8:40 am. The arrival of the first-place athlete is expected at 10:00 am.

FOLLOW YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND FAVORITE ATHLETES!

We suggest download the IRONMAN TRACKER app adding the Itaú BBA IRONMAN 70.3 São Paulo event (available on Saturday, 27th). There you can follow your favorite athletes by their numbers. You can add more than one, if you want.

WHERE TO WATCH

Avenida Professor Mello Moraes, in front of CEPEUSP, is the best place to position your fans! You will be able to follow the swimming > cycling > running transitions and, at the end, the arrival of our athletes! 

We do not recommend looking for points outside the University due to traffic restrictions.
