How the day is laid out

The swim is held in the ocean. An average of 22 °C is close to the threshold where wetsuit rules start to tighten. Plan for both answers and check the call on race morning.

The bike leg is labelled rolling.

The run is labelled flat.

A rolling bike ahead of a flat run keeps the climbing on the bike and lets the run settle into a rhythm.

Expect air between 16 °C and 23 °C on race day. A spread of 7 degrees across the day matters as much as the peak, because what you wear at the swim exit is rarely what you want at the far end of the bike.

One lap on the bike, three on the run

The 90 km bike is a single loop from the Cervia promenade through the Romagna countryside and past the Salt Pans Nature Park. The organiser describes rolling countryside with a single climb.

The run is three laps on flat roads through Cervia and Milano Marittima. The transition is almost 500 m long, about 100 m from the water exit. The full-distance IRONMAN is held in the same place the day before.
