I Triatlón Lanzarote

Event information

About the event

The I Triatlón Lanzarote was raced on Saturday 14 March 2026 in Costa Teguise, with a cap of 250 numbers on the sprint distance. It is run by the Canary Islands Triathlon Federation (FECANTRI) and it opened the 2026 Canary Islands Triathlon Series, as well as counting as round two of the Lanzarote Island Games.

It is worth separating it from the other race on the same seafront that day. The World Triathlon Cup Lanzarote, the elite World Cup round, was held on the same date at the same venue, but it is a different competition with its own start list and its own results. If you are looking for the elite times, they are on the World Cup page. What follows is the age-group race.

Course and distances

Everything revolved around Las Cucharas beach and Avenida Islas Canarias: transition, the swim start and the finish arch were all there. The programme had three formats:

• Sprint: senior and junior, the race that scored for the Canary Islands Triathlon Series.
• Super sprint: infantil, cadete and juvenil, inside the Canary Islands Talent Series.
• Youth aquathlon: prebenjamín, benjamín and alevín, with no bike leg.

The exact split distances are not published on any open official source, so we do not give them. The rules document with the course maps is downloaded from the FECANTRI entry page itself.

Entry and prices

Entries went through the FECANTRI platform, with a different fee for federated and non-federated athletes:

• Sprint: 45 EUR federated, 55 EUR non-federated
• Super sprint: 15 EUR federated, 30 EUR non-federated
• Youth races: 5 EUR federated, 10 EUR non-federated

The gap between the two columns is the one-day licence, so you could race without an annual licence by paying the higher fee. We are not treating the opening and closing dates as settled: the entry platform gave 30 January to 10 March and the FECANTRI page gave 31 January to 9 March, and in any case the 250-place cap could close entries earlier.

Who won in 2026

Sprint podium, age-group race:

• Men: César Vera 1:07:32, Jorge Carlos Wilkes 1:07:35, Yerobe Rodríguez 1:07:50
• Women: Ghislane Assou 1:19:59, Sarah Kim Bonner 1:21:23, Patricia García 1:25:35

Three seconds split first from second. Vera and Bonner left Costa Teguise leading the Canary Islands Series.

Planning your race

The day splits in two. Transition opened at 07:00, the sprint started at 10:00 and the age-group races were done by around 13:30. The World Cup elite did not start until 16:00 for women and 18:00 for men, so anyone who raced in the morning had the whole afternoon to watch it from the promenade. It is a multi-lap city circuit and everything is walkable from the Costa Teguise hotels, so you need neither a car nor a parking space. March on the north coast usually brings the trade wind in the afternoon: on the bike the wind counts for more than the temperature.
