The competition starts and finishes at the Costa Verde venue, which is located near the Av. Sucre entrance ramp. From there, riders will cycle to Pampilla beach in Miraflores, where they will make a U-turn and return to the Costa Verde venue in Magdalena. The route also includes the districts of San Isidro, Miraflores and Barranco. 

It is important to note that the Costa Verde beach circuit and all of its access roads will be closed from today at 22:00 until August 30 at 22:00.  

In this event, in which both men and women compete, spectators will be able to enjoy the sports celebration, see participants up close and cheer them on in their battle to reach the finish line. A total of 47 men and 20 women will participate in this competition. The Peruvian team consists of Job Israel Hilario Rimas and Yuber Pichihua Pérez. 

The Lima 2019 Parapan American Games Organizing Committee provides the following recommendation for the public who, starting tomorrow, will attend this competition venue: 

To enter: 

  • All spectators, including minors, must have their tickets to enter.  

  • Do not bring bottles, glass containers, unprocessed food, alcoholic beverages, or pets. 

  • Arrive at the competition venues ahead of time to avoid overcrowding at the entrances. 

  • Everyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.  

  • If you are going with a person with an impairment or that has mobility issues, locate the special entrance areas or ask Lima 2019 volunteers for help; they will be duly identified at all the competition venues. 

During competitions: 

  • Do not throw objects at the competition road. 

  • Do not throw water at the athletes in the case of road sports. 

  • Do not interfere with the course in the case of outdoor sports, such as road cycling.  

  • When judges ask for silence, keep quiet. Remember that there are sports such as wheelchair tennis that require extreme concentration for their execution.
