The Fitness Race Lanzarote 2026: results and classifications

The 5th The Fitness Race Lanzarote drew more than 650 participants on Saturday 11 April 2026 to the Plaza de las Naciones in Puerto del Carmen. It is the biggest turnout in its history and the first time the hybrid race has been staged in the tourist centre of Tías. The 650 figure is the one given by Tías town council and counts entries; the official classification hands out 519 individual places and fourteen teams.

(Updated on 6 October 2026. This piece came out on 6 September treating the classifications as unavailable: that was true then and stopped being true. Today the whole timing has been read again, the ten classifications and the eighteen age-bracket tables, and the new table further down comes from that. The podiums still carry no names, and the reason is now explained better.)

The format was 6 kilometres split into eight 700-metre laps, with a strength station between each one. There were individual, pairs and mixed team categories. It is run by Club Deportivo The Fitness Hybrid together with the Paleotraining Tías, The Jungle Box and Hybrid Box Siroco gyms, with the support of Tías town council.

Competitors came from Lanzarote, the rest of the Canaries, mainland Spain and abroad. The figure marks the trajectory of a race that has kept changing venue: it started in Costa Teguise, moved to Tías in 2024, was held in February 2025 at the Agapito Viera municipal ground in Arrecife with around 500 participants, and returned in August 2025 to the Tías municipal ground. The fifth edition took it out of a sports ground and into a public square.

The mayor of Tías, José Juan Cruz, said the race “once again shows our municipality’s commitment to sport and to promoting healthy habits”. The sports councillor, Ismael Cruz, said “this event has become a much-anticipated date that combines physical demand, fun and community”.

The ten podiums, and why they carry no names

The classifications are published on Sportmaniacs: ten of them, one per category, all complete. Not one entrant with a place was left without a time. These are the winning times, read on 28 September 2026:

Category	Classified	Winning time
PRO men’s doubles	24	43:12
PRO women’s doubles	20	51:03
PRO individual men	13	47:22
Individual men	38	48:06
Individual women	20	59:16
Men’s pairs	140	43:54
Women’s pairs	138	50:26
Mixed pairs	126	45:41
Mixed relay teams	5 teams	51:09
Battle teams	9 teams	43:49

The two teams that won: Comando Guanche in the mixed relay and 928 Hybrid Club in the battle.

And now the part that has to be explained, because it is a decision and not an oversight: we are not publishing the podium names here.

This is where September’s wording needs sharpening. The eight individual classifications are ordered by level and by sex, and none of them publishes an age. The pairs and teams classifications do carry age brackets, but the youngest runs from 16 to 29, and 16 is exactly the minimum age to compete in doubles: a 16-year-old and a 29-year-old land in the same box. The age data exists and separates nothing where separating would matter.

Cross-checking the thirty podium names against the ones we had already identified at other races on the island, two are under age, and one of them won their category. If there are more, these lists give no way of knowing.

You do not name a minor in a race report. Since we cannot tell one from another with what the timing publishes, we name no one. The times and the places are above. The official classification is published by the organisers on their own platform, and the link is on the race’s event page.

With a year of birth in the classification, or an age bracket that separates those under 18, we will come back and put the podiums up with full names.

How the age brackets break down

The platform publishes one table per age bracket inside each pairs event. There are eighteen of them, and this is how the classified pairs fall:

Event	16 to 29	30 to 39	40 to 49	50 to 59	Pairs
PRO men’s doubles	1	11			12
PRO women’s doubles	2	5	2	1	10
Men’s pairs	16	29	21	3	70
Women’s pairs	20	31	15	3	69
Mixed pairs	18	36	8	1	63

An empty cell means the platform does not publish that bracket in that event. In the men’s pairs the brackets add up to 69 and the general list carries 70: there is one pair with no age bracket assigned, and the timing does not say why.

The 224 pairs are 448 athletes, and with the 71 from the three individual events that makes the 519 classified. The 16 to 29 bracket of the men’s pairs also holds a pair entered under a junior category name: it identifies nobody, but it says there are very young people racing among adults here.

How to read these tables, if you are going to look at them

Worth knowing before you draw conclusions: in the pairs events the platform numbers each athlete separately, not each pair. Places 1 and 2 are almost always the two members of the same team, on the same time or a second apart. Anyone reading place 2 as “the runner-up” is presenting the winner’s own partner as their rival.

There is also a teams tab inside each pairs event that is not the pairs podium: it only gathers those who entered a team name, and it gives different times.

The venue, and what it changes

A 700-metre lap in a square has a practical consequence: your supporter sees everything from one spot and you pass your own bag eight times. The Plaza de las Naciones also put the race on the Puerto del Carmen promenade, with the shops and restaurants around it, something the council highlighted afterwards.

No date has been announced for the sixth edition, checked on 28 September 2026, and the history warns it can fall at any time of year: there have been editions in February, in April and in August. Everything coming up is in the Lanzarote sports events calendar.
