With a warm ocean swim, a scenic bike ride along Malecon Avenue and the Merida Highway, and a flat, fast run through downtown and the waterfront, this race offers an unforgettable and spectator-friendly experience. Expect average water temps of 82°F (28°C) and air highs of 95°F (35°C)—ideal for a tropical challenge!
