Lanzarote Events Tres Islas

Tres Islas is another new event in Lanzarote, with the same theme as Ironman, Tres Islas challenge will push the people taking the challenge to the very limits.

Las Tres Islas ( or The 3 Island Challenge) is a new form of quadrathlon. This challenge has taken the triathlon as we know it, to a extreme and exciting event but it's also been tailored to fit in better with the Canary Islands.

The contestants start from the beach of La Graciosa Island, then head over to Lanzarote and finish in Corralejo (located in Fuerteventura). This event allows people to cross 3 different Islands in just the one day.

Las Tres Islas starts with a swim of a 2km, the when in Lanzarote a 2 km steep cliff climb, 72km cycle through and around Lanzarote and then a 10km sail or kayak across to Fuerteventura.

The competitors are allowed to enter as individuals, or as a team of 2, 3 or 4 people. This allows them to competing relay-style.
