Location and logistics
The venue is the 330-acre South Seas resort at 5400 Plantation Road. More than half of the resort property is a wildlife preserve and estuary. Parking on the island is extremely limited due to prior hurricane damage; car-pooling is required and spectators are asked to ride with athletes. Participants not staying at South Seas must use designated parking outside the resort gates and take a resort trolley to the start/finish. Athletes will need to ride their bikes from the parking area to transition (approximately 1.5 miles). Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
