Fancy a running trip to the sun in the middle of winter? The Lanzarote Marathon combines sporting ambition with the relaxed atmosphere of the Canary Islands. On Saturday, Dec. 5, 2026, this international running event is back on the calendar, with distances for marathon runners, half-marathon runners and 10-kilometer runners. An ideal race for those who want to end the year strong with a special race by the sea.

The course takes you along the east coast of Lanzarote, with the Atlantic Ocean as your constant companion. The marathon starts in Costa Teguise and runs through Arrecife, among others, towards Puerto del Carmen, before returning to the finish in Costa Teguise. The route is mostly flat, but the openness and slight undulations keep it a real running challenge.

Besides running, Lanzarote is a destination perfect for active travelers. Think volcanic landscapes, black lava fields, white villages, coastal promenades and cozy terraces after exercise. The mild temperatures make the island attractive for a short sporting break, with plenty of opportunities to relax, hike or do another gentle recovery run.

This trip is suitable for runners who want to combine a marathon, half marathon or 10 kilometers with sun, sea and a special island experience. Whether you are going for a fast time, a new distance or above all an unforgettable running experience: with Loopreizen you travel well prepared to the start.
