Font Vella Lanzarote International Marathon
The Font Vella Lanzarote International Marathon is a multi-distance running event held on the island of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. The race takes place in December, typically featuring sunny weather and average temperatures around 21°C. The course follows the eastern coastline of the island, providing views of the sea under blue skies.
The event offers several distances to accommodate a wide range of participants:
- 42 km Marathon starting in Costa Teguise.
- 21 km Half Marathon starting in Puerto del Carmen.
- 10 km race starting in Arrecife.
- 21 km Wheelers category.
- 5 km Santa Claus Race held a few days before the main event.
- Buddy's Marathon children's races.
The marathon is considered one of the final major running events of the year in Europe. Logistics are supported by a shuttle bus service that transports runners from Costa Teguise to the various starting points in Puerto del Carmen and Arrecife. An Expo Area is available for several days leading up to the race, serving as the hub for race number collection, last-minute registrations, and an athlete information point.
The organization emphasizes sustainable development and encourages the use of the local intercity bus system to reduce the event's carbon footprint. Additional services for participants include a cloakroom and medal engraving. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
