Beginning tomorrow morning streets will be closed in anticipation of the 14th Pacifico Triathlon to be held on July 18 and 19.
The competition includes (i) swimming in the sea in front of the transition area located on the Malecón opposite to the Monument to the Fisherman (Del Mar Avenue, Beach North), (ii) bicycling on Avenida Del Mar and a portion of Camaron Sabalo (towards the Golden Zone), and (iii) racing on Avenida Del Mar toward the Marine School (old Mazatlán Malecón).
Aarón Aguilar Iñiguez, Commander of the Municipal Transit Police, said beginning yesterday the equipment needed for the construction of the pavilion was delivered to the area just north of the Monument to the Fisherman.
He added that beginning Friday Avenida Del Mar would be closed to traffic from Avenida Gutiérrez Nájera on the south to Avenida Rafael Buelna on the north beginning around 2:00 pm. Avenida Del Mar is scheduled to reopen at 9:00 pm that evening.
The Commander said, “On Saturday we will begin to clear the Malecón beginning at two in the morning and would close the area in full by four o’clock, five o’clock at the latest because the race starts at 6:30 am. The Malecón will be closed from the Shield to the south to Valentino to the north. Additionally, Insurgentes will be closed to Avenida Reforma and Lions International, all both ways.”
The race is schedule to conclude by 1:00 pm on Saturday so the roads should reopen between 2:30 pm and 3:00 pm.
