Lanzarote Wine Run

Event information

About the event

The Lanzarote Wine Run is run through the vine pits of La Geria, and its fourteenth edition, on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 June 2026, drew 2,093 entries. The course crosses the La Geria Protected Landscape, listed as a SIPAM agricultural heritage system, and finishes at the Uga showground, where the WineFestival is set up with DO Lanzarote wines, local food and live music.

It is organised by the Cabildo de Lanzarote and Yaiza town council with the DOP Vinos de Lanzarote regulatory board and the ICCA, timed by Toptime.

Course and distances

• 23 km, starting on Sunday at 08:30
• 12 km, at 09:30
• 12 km walk, the same course as the short race, also at 09:30
• Inclusion format with a Joelette chair, for people with reduced mobility
• Wine Run Kids, on Saturday at 11:00, four distances by age group, bibs from 10:00 outside the church in Uga

Everyone finishes at the Uga showground. The course follows marked tracks and paths that you may not leave, and drones are banned because of the birdlife in the protected landscape. The organisers publish no elevation figure for either course, so any number circulating online does not come from an official source.

There are 10 aid stations on the long course and 5 on the short one and the walk, and every one of them serves water and wine from the participating bodegas. No cups or bottles are handed out: you carry your own bottle, flask or hydration pack.

How the 2026 edition went

Of the 2,093 entries, 1,163 were in the walk, 611 in the 12 km, 231 in the 23 km and 67 in the Inclusion format; the remaining 21 are entries marked «Free» in those same formats. Across the two timed races 692 people finished: 191 over 23 km and 501 over 12. There were four retirements, and the timing file also holds one chip read with no entrant behind it.

The 23 km was won by Yerove Rodríguez Machín in 1:24:18 and Aroa Merino Betancor in 1:43:29. The podiums were completed by Rayco Hernández Morales (Volcán Run Training, 1:29:37) and Tanausú Cabrera Albelo (C.M. El Jable, 1:30:26), and by Cristina Molina Rodríguez (Todos por un Sueño, 1:55:19) and Milly Shakespeare (2:04:53). 191 of the 231 entries finished, with one retirement.

The 12 km went to Adrián González Alemán (0:47:40) and Raquel Salvador Duarte (0:58:48), ahead of Andrés Eligio de León Díaz (0:48:33) and Cristian Ramírez Rosales (0:49:28), and of Pili Ramos Guanche (1:02:52) and Zurine Garitaonandia Beatove (1:04:52). 501 of the 611 finished, with three retirements.

Winners by edition

The times shown are for the 23 km race. Both 2026 winners had already won the year before, and no times are published for 2025. The full podiums are in the 2026 race report.

Planning your race

Buses to the start lines began picking runners up at 07:00 in Uga, and you cannot board without a visible bib. There are two cut-offs: long-course runners must pass the Testeina aid station before 10:00, and there is a further cut at Bodegas La Geria, at an hour the sources do not agree on (the rules say 12:00, the official programme 12:30).

Bodegas La Geria is also the best place to watch without running: every format passes through, at km 18.3 of the long course and km 7.95 of the short one.

Other island races in the same vein: Tinajo You Trail and Vertical Montaña Blanca.
