The swim leg of the triathlon takes place in front of the Fisherman’s Monument.
Mazatlán’s annual Gran Triathlon Pacífico will take place tomorrow and Saturday. This year publicity for the annual event has been low-key and sparse compared to previous years when with considerable fanfare media published the number of participants, their origins and information about Elite athletes registered to take part in the three-stage competition.
Media did report today an announcement by municipal transit police that beginning today the north to south lane of the Malecón from Av. Rotarismo to the Fisherman’s Monument will be closed to traffic. The start and finish line is located in front of the monument.
Elite and Olympic athletes will bike 40k along Mazatán streets.
Tomorrow the north-south lane of the Malecón will be cordoned off from Río Piaxtla to the Fisherman’s Monument from 11am to approximately 6pm for the children’s triathlon which starts at 4pm.
On Saturday beginning at 3am Olas Altas, Paseo Claussen, the Malecón, one lane of Insurgentes up to Av. Reforma and both lanes of Av. Leonismo Internacional will be closed to traffic until approximately 2pm.
For fans, here is the triathlon schedule:
Friday, February 27: 4pm, Children’s triathlon (6-15 year olds)
Saturday, February 28: 7am, Olympic triathlon (1.5k swim, 40k bike, 10k run)
