Lanzarote Ironman 2023

Live Stream, TV Coverage, Route, Start Time, Timing

The Lanzarote Ironman, Club La Santa, isn't one of the larger events on the Ironman triathlon calendar but it is very popular with the athletes in particular, offering a challenging, warm weather course at a time of year when these facilities are at a premium.

Taking place on the northern part of the island, with many tough climbs on the cycle circuit in particular, this is widely regarded as one of the toughest Ironman events anywhere in the world.

There has been an Ironman event on Lanzarote for many years now, with the first official race taking place back in 1992, when the venue was Playa Blanca. It then quickly moved to the popular tourist resort of Puerto del Carmen, which is still home to the triathlon today. The popularity of the event is also in no small part due to the 40 qualifying spots available for the Ironman World Championships in Finland.
