TRI-SPORTS Lanzarote ‘sea swims’ are held along the main ‘Playa Grande’ beaches of Puerto Del Carmen – clear blue crystal waters. Our swim routes are parallel to the main beaches, keeping it shallow, but also out any currents… you can even swim the famous ‘Lanzarote Ironman’ swim. Sea Temperatures ranges from 18c in winter to 24c during the summer months, wetsuits are not necessary but strongly advised in the winter months.

Pool training sessions are done on-site in our 25m solar heated pool. We have 2 lanes for differing levels or large groups, and the pool is available at any time during your stay with us Video Analysis is availabwith pool training.

From the whitesandy beaches of the south, the palm tree lined winding streets of the North, or the outstanding 500 volcanoes in-between – the bike tours we have planned for you are amazing!

When you participate in our scheduled runs, you can chose between beach, road or off-road runs.

For the ‘road’ runs, TRI-SPORTS Lanzarote will take you for 5k, 10k or 20k, along the beachfront promenade in Puerto Del Carmen, the route for the ‘Lanzarote Ironman’. This is a beautiful setting along the specially designed ‘running path’ alongside the white sandy beaches with slight inclines and declines for beginners and professionals alike!

If you fancy something a little more adventurous, come and join us for one of our ‘off-road’ runs. The tracks we use, of varying lengths, take us through the amazing countryside of Lanzarote…. around, or up and down Volcanoes. Depending upon your ability, we can provide a challenging run over tarmac road, Lanzarote ‘picon’ (the black lava gravel), or over rugged terrain. We can also arrange the use of a local running track.

Participants must come prepared for the heat and terrain with good shoes, hat, sun cream and water bottle carrier.

Join us on a slightly more structured week where you follow either your own training programme, or one set by Daren, our BTF Triathlon and Open Water Swim Coach. He will take into account the phase of the year you are working in… Most of this week if you choose to do so you would train along side the Tri-Sports Lanzarote team who would accompany you on various sessions and keep you on track with your training plan throughout your stay, this gives you the freedom to explore and fit in the recommended sessions in your own time.

We will provide you with the most comprehensive week of training possible covering a range of subjects from transition technique, strength training, bike efficiency, open water technique, nutrition to name but a few….
