Yaiza Extremo Sur

Event information

About the event

Yaiza Extremo Sur is a mountain bike and gravel race that crosses Lanzarote from north to south and finishes in Playa Blanca. It is run by Yaiza town council and Cronoline Eventos with the Canary Islands cycling federation.

What is confirmed for 2026, and what is not

Updated on 10 October 2026: the call to enter is out. The official website serves the 2026 edition, and with it come the dates, the entry window, the venue and the prices.

Entries are open and close on Tuesday 3 November at 23:59. They go through Cronoline. The platform’s own words, read on 3 October 2026: «Plazo de inscripción Del 5 oct. 2026 a las 08:00 (GMT+01:00) al 3 nov. 2026 a las 23:59 (GMT)». Both offsets are Canary local time: on 25 October, in between, the Canaries go from GMT+1 to GMT.

Watch the closing date, because there are two of them. The platform says 3 November and the rules say «hasta el 04 de noviembre de 2026 a las 23:59». We go with the platform’s date: it is the one that closes the form and takes the money, and it is the earlier of the two, so anyone who follows it will not be shut out.

Prices read on 12 October 2026: 60 euros for the 60 km, 40 for the 30 km and 10 for the children’s race. The 60 and the 40 have gone up since 10 October, when they were 48 and 32: the first band sold out in those two days. Another band may open before the deadline, so the price that counts is the one Cronoline shows on the day you enter: look at it there before you pay. The children’s race stays at 10 euros.

Which race goes off on which day, and at what time

The rules are out, published on the platform and read on 1 October 2026, and they are the source that settles days and times. If you have seen a different split in the Canary Islands cycling federation’s calendar — a reader flagged it to us in May — this is the one that counts:

Both distances start and finish by the THB Tropical Island, in Playa Blanca. The 15:00 on Friday that the platform gives as «inicio del evento», the start of the event, is therefore the children’s start, not bib collection.

The place and time for bib collection are to be published later, the rules say. What they do spell out is that you have to show ID to pick up a bib, that collecting someone else’s needs a photo of their document, and that the racing licence is shown at that point.

And a technical warning for anyone looking for the website: www.yaizaextremosur.es only answers over HTTP. Over https:// it simply times out, checked on 30 September 2026. Type it with https and you get nowhere. And over HTTP it no longer leads to a website: it redirects straight to the Cronoline entry form, so the “official website” and the entry link end up in the same place.

How the 2025 edition worked

Everything below is 2025 data, from the sixth edition on Sunday 23 November 2025, with the children’s race on Saturday 22. It shows what the format looks like; it is not information about 2026.

The 100 km mountain bike and gravel races started at 08:00 from Órzola, at Playa de Atrás in Haría, and the 40 km mountain bike race at 11:00 from Los Dolores, in Mancha Blanca (Tinajo). Both finished on Calle la Concha in Playa Blanca, along roads open to traffic and farm tracks.

Aid stations on the 100 km were at kilometres 27 (liquid only), 47, 64, 83 and 87.5, and doubled as cut-offs: 10:00 at km 27, 11:45 at 47, 12:50 at 64 and 14:00 at 83, with the format closing at 15:30. The 40 km had one, at km 27. No cups were handed out.

In 2025 the 40 km cost 40 EUR for the first 50 entries and 50 EUR after that; the 100 km mountain bike and gravel races 55 EUR and then 70 EUR; the children’s race 10 EUR. Riders without a licence added 15 EUR and were covered by the organisers’ insurance. Moving bike and rider from Playa Blanca to Órzola cost 15 EUR on top, with the bus leaving at 06:00. Licences were shown at bib collection, and an approved helmet and the chipped number plate were compulsory. Minimum age was 15 on the 40 km and 17 on the 100 km.

Planning ahead

The 2026 programme is out: both distances start and finish in Playa Blanca, so there is none of the point-to-point logistics of 2025, when the 100 km set off from Órzola and the bike transfer was booked separately. The Yaiza sports department can be reached at deportes@yaiza.org and on 928 83 68 34.

The island’s other big cycling date is the Vuelta Ciclista a Lanzarote.
