Las Tres Islas 2006 (The 3 Island Challenge) is the latest in a series of innovative sports endurance events from Youths United taking place on Saturday May 27th 2006.

It is a new form of “quadrathlon” – adapting 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, going on to Lanzarote and finishing in Corralejo (Fuerteventura), Las Tres Islas 2006 offers the competitor a further challenge never before attempted in the Canary Islands- 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 then 10km sail or kayak, the event´s unique format allows competitors to enter as individuals, or as a 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 will compete alongside less-confident athletes and those excelling in one particular discipline.

There are strictly limited places for entrance in Las Tres Islas 2006, and we recommend you apply for an entry form as soon as possible. With the entry form we will provide a set of Event Terms & Conditions (which you agree to abide by on payment of your entry fee) and a charity sponsor form. Youths United was originally set up by Lanzarote resident Xavier “Tila” Braddock to promote innovative extreme sports events with a charitable angle. We encourage all competitors to raise sponsorship for  the Adaph charity or for the charity of your choice – please inform us which charity you will be raising money for. Please contact the Youths United office if you require more details about charity.
