Pack this
- Wetsuit plus anti-chafe balm — water may be borderline non-wetsuit legal
- Tinted goggles and a spare clear pair for the sunrise sea start
- Timing chip, bib, swim cap and photo ID for check-in and body marking
- Bike shoes, helmet, spare tube, CO2 and multitool for the 1200m climb
- 6-8 gels plus 2 bottles with electrolytes for a hot 26C ride and run
What you should know
- Bike and bag check-in happens the day before; transition is not open for setup on race morning.
- Wetsuit legality is announced on race morning based on Mediterranean water temperature — bring both options.
- The bike course climbs into the hills behind Nice, so expect long ascents and a fast, technical descent.
- Helmets must be buckled from the moment you touch your bike; drafting and littering penalties are enforced.
- Run is a flat coastal loop on the Promenade with little shade — take water and ice at every aid station.
