The third edition starts on 3 October with 431 riders entered, seven out of ten of them over 40. Only three climbs are timed; the rest is 189 kilometres ridden in a group across the island's seven municipalities.
The olympic distance reaches six weeks out with 188 entries. Where the start list stands, how the distances split and where to watch the race in Puerto del Carmen.
The 30th edition is swum on 19 September. In 2025 it came down to six seconds between a swimmer in his early twenties and one in his sixties, and this year not a single place was left.
