Club La Santa Volcano Triathlon Half

Event information

When do entries open for the Volcano Half 2027?

They have not opened yet, checked on 11 October 2026, and this page is updated the day they do. Club La Santa announces it as «PRÓXIMA APERTURA DE INSCRIPCIONES 2027», entries opening soon, without giving a day, and at the official timekeeper the entry form remains closed, so waiting costs you no place.

In the meantime, this much is settled and worth preparing for:

• When and where: 24 April 2027 at Club La Santa, Tinajo, starting at 07:40. Where that date comes from is explained just below.
• What is raced: a 1.9 km swim in the lagoon, 90 km on the bike in a single loop and 21.1 km on foot over three laps.
• Who can enter: age groups from 18-24 to 75-79, a minimum age of 18 as at 31 December 2027, a PRO category with qualifying times and relays for men, women and mixed teams.
• What entry covers: aid stations, a shirt and a bag, a finisher medal and patch, timing, first aid, massage at the finish and accident insurance.
• What is still missing: the opening day, the field limit and a price you can actually pay. What the timekeeper has loaded is not a tariff in force, and the entry section explains why.

About the event

The Club La Santa Volcano Triathlon Half is a new event and marks the return of middle distance triathlon to Lanzarote. The organisers present it as another chapter in the history of the Volcano Triathlon, which in 2027 comes to have two dates: the olympic and sprint races in March, and this middle distance in April.

It is raced over 1.9 km of swimming, 90 km of cycling and 21.1 km of running.

Where the 24 April date comes from

Club La Santa does not publish the date of this race, checked on 2 October 2026. It does not appear on its Volcano Triathlon Half page, nor in its listing of events and training camps, which that day listed only training weeks. The 24 April 2027 date comes from the official timekeeper, Race Result: its event number 409582 is titled «Club La Santa Volcano Triathlon Half 2027, 24/04/2027» and places it in Tinajo. It is a source belonging to the organisers themselves, but it is not their website, and while Club La Santa does not confirm it there, it is worth knowing.

The timekeeper also loads the start time: 07:40.

The three legs

• Swim, 1.9 km. In the salt water lagoon beside Club La Santa, on a marked course. The organisers give a water temperature of around 19.5 ºC, and wetsuit use is confirmed on race day according to the official measured temperature and the applicable rules. Cut-off at 1 h 10 min from each athlete’s individual start.
• Bike, 90 km. A single lap. Fixed intermediate cut-off at 12:22 at kilometre 62.5, in Los Valles, and a final cut-off at 6 h from the individual start.
• Run, 21.1 km. Three laps from Club La Santa along the La Santa coast to Las Betancoras. Fixed intermediate cut-off at 15:25 after 10.5 km, and a finish cut-off at 8 h 30 min from the individual start.

The cut-offs refer to each athlete’s individual start, not to a mass start: the swim goes off one at a time.

Categories and minimum age

There is a PRO category with qualifying standards, and they are demanding: to be eligible for the men’s PRO you have to be capable of finishing in «menos de 4 horas 40 minutos», under 4 hours 40 minutes, and in the women’s, in «5 horas 15 minutos», 5 hours 15.

The age groups run from 18-24 to 75-79, in five-year bands, and there are team relays for men, women and mixed. The minimum age is 18 as at 31 December 2027, which is the date used to work out the group, not the day of the race.

Entry

There is no date for entries opening, checked on 2 October 2026. The official site says «PRÓXIMA APERTURA DE INSCRIPCIONES 2027», entries opening soon, without giving a day, and the timekeeper shows «Las inscripciones abrirán próximamente.», entries will open shortly. No date is invented here: as soon as one appears in an official source, it goes in.

There is no published field limit either, checked on 2 October 2026. And on prices there is an important nuance: the timekeeper has a fee scale loaded for the middle distance and for the relays, but it is not in force. The entry form is still closed and the first band of that scale expired without entries ever opening, checked on 2 October 2026, so those are provisional figures rather than a tariff. We do not publish them until you can actually pay them.

Entry covers race organisation, traffic control and marshals, aid stations on course, a participant shirt and bag, a finisher medal and patch, timing with results, first aid cover, a relaxing massage in the finish area in order of arrival, given by students from a massage therapy school, and accident insurance included in the entry, through Mutuacat. For therapeutic massage, the organisers point you to a qualified physiotherapist.

The race number is collected in person, with photo ID or passport, and the race is run under the ITU competition rules.

What the winners take home

There is prize money, and only in the PRO category. The website publishes a single list for men and women, with the same figures for both: 5,000 euros for the winner, then 2,750, 1,750, 1,250, 1,000 and 750 down to sixth. Local taxes and bank fees are deducted from the amount.

And one condition worth reading before you book the flight home: «la asistencia a la ceremonia de premios es obligatoria para poder optar al premio en metálico», attendance at the prize ceremony is compulsory to claim the money, and the ceremony runs from 17:30 to 18:30.

The trophies do not all go to whoever is fastest overall. There is one for the first conejero or conejera, born on Lanzarote, and another for the first Canary Islands resident, who also gets 50% off next year’s entry. The top 3 in each age group and the top 6 in the PRO category complete the list.

In the relay every member of a finishing team gets a medal and a finisher patch, and there are trophies for the winning men’s, women’s and mixed teams.

Planning your race

It is the same base as the March Volcano Triathlon, so what you already know about La Santa applies: wind all but guaranteed on the bike, and a sheltered lagoon for the swim. If you are coming for both, there are five weeks between them.

The athlete guide is not published yet: the website says it will be out «lo antes posible», as soon as possible, checked on 2 October 2026. The 2027 environmental guide is available.
