Las Tres Islas 31/05/08
Las Tres Islas (The 3 Island Challenge) is one of the best established and most innovative sports endurance events held annually in the Canary Islands. This new form of “quadrathlon” – adapts the traditional form of triathlon to a more extreme, exciting event specifically tailored to suit the Canary Islands´ natural conditions.
Starting from the shores of La Graciosa island, moving on to travel the length of Lanzarote and finishing in Corralejo (Fuerteventura), Las Tres Islas offers the competitor a superb challenge - crossing 3 islands in one day – using nothing more than their own physical power.
Consisting of a 2km swim, 2 km steep cliff climb, 72km cycle and finally a 10km sail or kayak, the event’s unique format allows competitors to enter as:
- • Solo; completing all 4 stages solo i.e. not sharing a tandem bike and not sharing a craft on the last stage, the sea crossing
- • Individuals; completing all four stages, the bike stage can be completed on a tandem and the last stage can be completed on shared crafts for example sailing dinghy, yachts or a two man kayak
- • Team; of 2, 3 or 4 people competing relay-style (or 5 people if more than 1 person is needed for the last stage, the sea crossing to Fuerteventura).
This format gives everybody a chance to enter - seasoned multi-sports athletes compete alongside corporate teams and groups or individuals who have set themselves the goal of doing their best in one or more of the disciplines. There are a number of ways that teams and individuals can enter, either privately or as Sponsored athletes or corporate teams. Contact our office for details.
