Although some streets on the Malecón Tajamar will be closed for the security of the event, competitors and spectators, there is generally plenty of parking in the area, which will make it easier for you to get there.

Due to the design of the circuit, automobil internal circulation will be allowed in some streets of the Tajamar Malecon and around the competition circuit; so it can be easy to access by car, to the finish area or any area of ​​the circuit. This location of the competition circuit allows for many parking areas, in the road streets or on parking spaces, near the competition circuit.

DO NOT PARK INSIDE THE COMPETITION CIRCUIT.

For the safety of the competitors and considering the speed at which they will pass, parking within the competition circuit is prohibited to avoid accidents. This point is mandatory.

DO NOT PARK IN THE CENTRAL LANDSCAPE BUFFER.

For the safety of competitors, pedestrians and visitors, as well as to minimize risks in the event of an accident; To free up traffic lanes and maintain a continuous flow of roads, preventing vehicular circulation from being blocked, parking is prohibited on the side of the central landscape buffers of the Malecón Tajamar avenues.

DO NOT PARK IN A DOUBLE ROW OR COVERING THE EXIT OF VEHICLES PARKED IN PARALLEL.

Malecón Tajamar has a lot of area to park on its streets, including many areas for you to park in parallel. Please DO NOT double-park or park behind vehicles that are parked in a row. With this we avoid traffic jams or traffic conflicts, always look for a place that does not affect traffic and others to park your vehicle.

For the safety of cyclists and spectators, we will have clearly marked and attended "safe crossing" zones. These safe crossing zones are steps controlled by some volunteers, in this way we can avoid accidents, since bicycles can reach more than 55 km./hr. (35 mi./hr.)

For everyone's safety, please cross only in these areas, at times when volunteers deem it safe to cross. Cyclists ride at high speed and although you may not see any cyclists at plain sight, they can turn a corner and be just in front of you in no time.

Most spectators like to watch the race near the START/FINISH area, due to the high level of excitement, especially at the finish line, as there are several prize primes throughout the competitions. This is also where the awards ceremony will take place.

There are two other areas that we call the TIGHT CURVES, which are basically two curves with a "U" turn, where competitors have to minimize their speed and start again with great effort to reach high speeds and pass the finish line. These areas are also very animated.

However, if these areas are too crowded for you, we encourage walking the course and cheer on runners from different areas. It is always a great incentive to receive support from all points of the circuit. At any point on the track, your vision will be as good as if you were at the finish line, and runners need support and motivation throughout the entire course.

As this is a free and open event, it is allowed to bring your own food and drink; We highly encourage you to support our entire community, which makes an alliance with us, to be able to offer visitors to this event unique attractions in cycling events.

By trying the cuisine offered by the different food trucks and exhibition stands at the expo, you will always ensure that the events are supported. Many of these suppliers and exhibitors are small local businesses that are encouraged to grow with us and consuming with them will help them always support us at the events, plus they will surely have some special promotions during the event.

No, water cannot be offered to competitors and by regulation giving them water outside the area in which they are allowed to supply themselves may cause them to be disqualified. So, we ask that you do not approach and offer competitors water and food as they pass by.

While it may be a noble act on your part, this restriction is actually a very important safety measure, since competitors will pass at a very high speed; and the slightest sudden movement or obstacle can cause a serious accident where they fall or hurt a spectator. Due to the large number of competitors that gather in the competition peloton, a poorly delivered bottle that falls to the floor could cause a major accident.

Rest assured that the competitors are already prepared along with their teams, to know how they will be able to obtain supplies within the specific area they have to carry out this action. Thank you very much for your understanding

Of course! Take lots of photos and videos. Bring out that professional photographer inside you, and if you can share them with us to upload them at our social network, even better!

You will be surprised by the range of colors that will appear in your photos, thanks to all the jerseys that will be in competition! However, we ask that you avoid, at all costs, jumping onto the racetrack or leaning forward over hurdles when competitors approach. This situation can put you, other spectators and competitors in danger, and we want to avoid it. At all costs.

Of course, we will collect as many photographs as possible, and we will have them available in the photos section of our CRITERIUM CANCUN FACEBOOK page a few days after the competition.

We recommend that you wear whatever casual clothing you feel comfortable in. Being in Cancun at the end of spring, the temperature begins to rise, and the heat is going on, so we recommend shorts and cool clothing. As it is a night event, you will not need to wear sunglasses or hats to protect yourself from UV rays.

We recommend that you bring REPELLENT, since the track is located in a mangrove area and right in front of the Nichupte lagoon, there are usually these types of insects hanging around.

We highly, highly recommend that you bring your FOLDING CHAIRS, it will always be much more comfortable than sitting on the sidewalks, in any area of ​​the circuit.
