"Las Tres Islas" (The 3 Island Challenge) is one of the best established
and most innovative sports endurance events held annually in the Canary Islands.
This new form of quadrathlon adapts the traditional form of triathlon to a
more extreme, exciting event specifically tailored to suit the Canary Islands´ natural
conditions.
The race starts in the morning when the competitors have to swim the two
kilometres that separate the beaches of Famara and Calete de Sebo. They then
have to climb a nearby cliff, a climb of more than 2 kilometres in length.
After the climb, it’s time to run to their bicycles and cover more
than 65 kilometres that will take them towards the coastal port of Playa
Blanca, and from there the 10 kilometres swim towards the island of Fuerteventura.
Introduction :
WHO: Seasoned multi-sports athletes compete alongside
corporate teams and groups or individuals who have set themselves the goal
of doing their best in one or more of the disciplines.
WHAT: Superb challenge - crossing 3 islands in one day – using
nothing more than their own physical power.. Consisting of a 2km swim,
2 km steep cliff climb, 72km cycle and finally a 10km sail or kayak.
WHEN: May 31, 2008. It begins early in the morning.
WHERE: Shores of La Graciosa island

of Lanzarote and finishing in Corralejo (Fuerteventura). The event’s
unique format allows competitors to enter as:
Solo: completing all 4 stages solo i.e. not sharing a tandem

Stage 1 : 2km Swim
Competitors will assemble early morning in the harbour of La Graciosa to
start the swim to the Playa del Risco beach at the bottom of Mirador del
Rio cliffs, some 2km east. Support boats and safety crews will be on stand-by
to direct swimmers and offer aid. On arrival at the beach, competitors will
be directed to their pre-deposited kit bags, to dry off and put on shoes
and dry clothes for the next stage of the event. Teams competing in relay-style
will pass on to their next team member. From here, competitors will make
their way towards the foot of the cliff path and the starting point of stage
2.
Stage 2 : 2 km Cliff climb
The well-trodden path up the cliff is some 2km in length, and 650m in height

team member before setting off on stage 3.

destination, Playa Blanca. The route takes the competitors through some
of the most stunning parts of Lanzarote. Dropping down past Guinate and
into Maguez, the cyclists’ battle up some small hills before arriving
in Haría, and start the steady road climb up “Curvas del Malpaso” towards
the “Mirador del Haría” restaurant. From there they
will continue along the long sweeping road downhill towards Teguise, and
then up towards “Monumento al Campesino” – the geographical
centre of Lanzarote - in San Bartolomé. Passing along the recently
re-surfaced roads of La Geria and onto the island’s beautiful wine-growing
regions of El Grifo, the cyclists will then turn left up and over the hill
into La Asomada, and then onto Yaiza. From here they continue along the
last part of the cycle along the quiet old main road towards Playa Blanca.
Arriving in Playa Blanca, cyclists head towards the beach, and the start
of stage 4. Water stops and roadside teams will be positioned along the
entire cycle route to provide competitors with refreshment and shade if
needed. Direction signs will also be clearly in place to ensure all cyclists
complete the same route without complication or confusion.
Stage 4 : 10km Watercraft crossing
The cut-off time to finish the cycle will be 45 mins before the start of
the sail, allowing the slowest competitors a chance to relax and prepare
for the final stage of the event. This stage takes the competitors across
the short stretch of Atlantic Ocean between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura,
some 10km south of Playa Blanca. Everybody will set off together, in the
watercraft of their choosing – windsurfer, Hobie Catamaran, kitesurf

Club La Santa invites
you to the first edition of a unique and unforgettable running event.
Club La Santa invites you to be the first to experience a unique and unforgettable
running event. The runners will race across the lunar landscape of the wine
district of La Geria, passing
through several “bodegas” (vineyards) and discovering the rich
taste of the local wine during and after the run.
La Geria description
La Geria, located in the heart of Lanzarote between the towns
of Mozaga and Yaiza, is the source of Malmsey, a robust sweet
wine, known locally by the name of its grape, Malvasia.
In the early 1700s, the valley was farmland, but in 1730 a six-year period
of volcanic eruptions covered southern Lanzarote with thick layers of ash
and lava. When farmers returned to their blackened fields, they quickly
discovered a use for the tiny black cinders and developed a method of growing
vines on volcanic slopes by surrounding each plant with picón (lava
gravel) to trap the dew, and sheltering it with a zoco, a semicircle of
stone walls.
La Geria valley is today covered in a pattern of these round depressions
and zocos, where visitors can sample and buy the wines from the local “bodegas”,
and learn about their unusual history at a wine museum.
Course description – 21.1 K
The start will be at Los Dolores Church in Mancha Blanca. The course will
take the participants on different types of surfaces
through the vineyards in the La Geria region. Here the runners will be
offered free samples of the wine produced by the local “bodegas”.
The finish line will be at the main square in Uga, where camels are still
used to harvest grapes.
Time limit: 4 hours
Timing
The ChampionChip has been selected as the official timer. A ChampionChip
is a mandatory scoring device for all entrants: at

own chip, it is essential you bring it to the registration. The chip must
