Club La Santa has launched the first Ironman 70.3 Lanzarote event, due to take place at the Lanzarote resort on 10 November. The Ironman 70.3 challenge is the first of its kind to be held at Club La Santa. The race will include a 1.9K swim, 90K bike ride and a 21.1K half marathon race to the finish.
Club La Santa, the leading sports and active holiday resort is also an official organiser of the main Ironman Lanzarote event due to take place on 19 May.
Starting in the Club La Santa lagoon, the Ironman 70.3 Lanzarote race will take in the resort and its surroundings before finishing at the Club La Santa stadium.
Head of Club La Santa UK, Claire Dyson said “The half Ironman distance is becoming more and more popular and we expect this event to sell out quickly. If you are an Ironman novice this event is perfect as you get the chance to sample the challenge before plunging into a full Ironman competition.”
For those wanting to take part in the event, Club La Santa also offers a number of new training camps to get athletes into shape for the race. These include the Ironman 70.3 Training Camp with former Welsh National Triathlon team coach Phil Price; the Robin Brew 70.3 Triathlon camp; and the Richard Hobson Triliving 70.3 Prep Camp.
Training camps take place between 26 September and 11 November 2012.
