In Ironman 5150 races, the use of wetsuits depends on the water temperature. Generally, they are allowed if the temperature is 24.5°C or lower, but the final decision is announced on race day, so it is important to stay tuned to official announcements.
For this edition, the water temperature is expected to exceed 25°C, which could prohibit the use of wetsuits.
Additionally, if wetsuits are allowed, their thickness must not exceed 5 mm.
No, the use of swimming goggles is permitted only.

Friends and/or family are not allowed to cross the finish line or enter the finish zone with participating athletes. This policy ensures that every competitor has adequate time to celebrate their achievement without interference from others and maintains the safety of all participants, volunteers, and spectators. Athletes who do not comply with this policy will be automatically disqualified (DQ).
Due to high congestion in the finish zone, spectators will not be allowed access. Please do not attempt to enter this area, as it must remain clear for athlete safety. Before the event, arrange a meeting spot with your athlete for after they have finished.
