Open-water swimming adds current, navigation and sea conditions. Longer events should be treated as true endurance races.<\/p>\n<h2>Documents and kit<\/h2>\n<p>Swimming and beach biathlon require photo ID, a medical certificate valid for six months, and proof of a similar recent race or a coach declaration for some distances. No kit pickup means no race.<\/p>\n<h2>Kids and minors<\/h2>\n<p>Kids Swim and Kids Run have their own documentation and authorization rules. Families should prepare papers in advance rather than relying on PDFs on a phone at pickup.<\/p>\n<h2>Race-morning planning<\/h2>\n<p>Arrive early enough for bathrooms, bag drop if available, arena orientation and warm-up. For 6:20\u20136:30 am starts, treat transport like an overnight operation.<\/p>\n<h2>How to get there<\/h2>\n<p>Metro and ride-hailing are practical for Posto 5, but very early starts may happen before some public-transport services begin. Check operating hours.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to stay<\/h2>\n<p>Staying in Copacabana is the simplest option for athletes with early starts.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/embed\/gm?aid=viagenselugares&#038;address=Posto%205%2C%20Praia%20de%20Copacabana%2C%20Rio%20de%20Janeiro%2C%20RJ%2C%20Brasil\" width=\"100%\" height=\"428\" style=\"border:0\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3>When is the event?<\/h3>\n<p>December 12 and 13, 2026.<\/p>\n<h3>When is kit pickup?<\/h3>\n<p>December 10\u201312; the exact location was still pending.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I pick up the kit on race day?<\/h3>\n<p>The organizer states no kit is delivered on race day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Updated September 29, 2026.
