LOCATIONS OPPORTUNITIES
TRITON 1 Salvador takes place along the Piatã Beach shoreline. The Race Village is set up right in the heart of Piatã Square, less than 100 meters from the beach sand. Piatã is located next to the famous Itapuã Beach, made internationally known by the Brazilian song “Tarde em Itapuã” by Toquinho.
The area has a vibrant atmosphere, with lively bars, music, and a steady flow of people along the entire beachfront. The Transition Zone is also located at Piatã Square, and both the start and finish lines of the run course are set in this central spot — making it an ideal location for spectators to cheer on the athletes while enjoying the sun and the local scenery.

Just across the avenue from the square, you’ll find a supermarket, pharmacies, residential areas, and a few accommodation options. For recommendations on tours, lodging, and transfers, get in touch with our partner VILA BAHIA
SWIM
Piatã Beach is located right next to Itapuã. Itapuã means “rounded stone” in the Tupi language.
Situated in the northern part of the city, Itapuã lies outside the All Saints Bay. The region features coral formations that create coves — small bays or inlets — offering natural protection for the shoreline. The calm sea, with gentle and consistent waves, is part of the Atlantic Ocean and showcases a stunning emerald-green color. In certain parts of the beach, large rocks form natural pools. Depending on where you are, it’s also a great spot for surfing and other water sports.
BIKE
The Transition Zone is located just a few meters from the sea, right near Piatã Square. This is where the TRITON 1 Salvador bike course begins. Known for being a fast course, the route follows an inverted T shape: it starts along the shoreline, enters Avenida 29 de Março, turns around at the Regional area, then heads back toward the coast before continuing in the opposite direction of the Transition Zone (toward Boca do Rio).
Although the entire bike course doesn’t run along the beachfront, it is not only very fast, as mentioned before, but also incredibly scenic. The road surface was recently repaved and is in excellent condition — ready to host a high-level cycling race.
RUN
When coming to TRITON Salvador, make sure to set aside at least one morning to wake up early and watch the local fishermen pulling in their nets. Check the tide chart and take the chance to enjoy the natural pools that form at low tide. Coconut trees lining the beach, the salty ocean breeze, and — completing the picture — the Itapuã Lighthouse, one of Salvador’s most iconic landmarks.
The Piatã Beach shoreline features a long, well-structured bike path, which is where the run course of TRITON 1 Salvador takes place. Take advantage of the days before the race to go for a walk along or even squeeze in a quick training session.
