EVENT DESCRIPTION

RUN STAGE 


The run stage starts and finishes from the Enduroman Villa near Playa Blanca. The 45 mile course is nothing short of spectacular, taking in the views of the El Golfo volcanoes, Fire Mountain, the Red Mountain, Playa Blanca sea front and the Femes Mountains.  It is entirely on road and trails.  Enduroman will provide and drive the support vehicle for your crew (max of 2 plus athlete). In hours of reduced visibility, runners MUST wear a high vis bib / vest and carry a white light to the front and a red light to the rear.  Bike lights are ideal.

SWIM STAGE

Athletes can have a maximum of 5 hours recovery between the end of the run stage and the start of the swim.  This is to ensure the health and safety of the athlete. An ultra distance run in these conditions can lower the body core temperature and it may be dangerous for some athletes to attempt a swim in the cold waters of the Atlantic before giving the body the chance to recover.  There is however, no minimum limit to T1.  The Enduroman official will have the final say as to whether an athlete is fit enough to start the swim.

Athletes will be then be conveyed by vehicle to the swim start.  The 11 mile swim course is on multiple laps around Playa Blanca bay. The sea state is unpredictable, and the constant winds of Lanzarote ensure that swell and the waves are an added challenge to the distance.  As pictured above, there are various feeding points that Enduroman or your support crew can feed you at.  Wetsuits are permitted, but are not compulsory. 

BIKE STAGE

Again the maximum time between the swim and the bike is 5 hours.  Athletes will conveyed by vehicle back to the Enduroman villa where the bike will start and finish.  The 80 mile bike course crosses Fire Mountain to the Miradore Del Rio; the infamous high point of the island before returning to Playa Blanca.  Enduroman will again provide the support vehicle.

Do not be fooled by the distance of the bike stage.  The Enduroman format of run / swim  / bike, ensures that every pedal stroke feels ultra distance.
