Marathon weekend in Costa Teguise

Lanzarote’s oldest distance sporting event, the Font Vella International Lanzarote Marathon, will take place this weekend in Costa Teguise.

The Marathon will commence tomorrow morning (Saturday) at 8 am, as runners set off for the 42-km run to Puerto del Carmen and back. This will be followed by a half-marathon, a half-marathon for wheelchair users and a 10-kilometre event. 

To warm up for the event, today will see a 5-kilometre Santa Claus race at 12.30 along Costa Teguise’s promenade.

The Lanzarote Marathon is the first and oldest marathon event on the Canaries, celebrating its 30^th anniversary last year.
