Lanzarote International Marathon

Lanzarote Marathon is a destination road race held on Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, Spain, offering runners a chance to experience one of Europe’s most distinctive late-season marathon weekends. Officially branded as the Font Vella Lanzarote International Marathon, the event is known for its oceanfront route, mild December climate, and festival-style format that combines the full marathon with shorter races and family events over several days. Rather than being confined to one dense urban center, the race stretches along Lanzarote’s east coast and links several of the island’s best-known resort and city areas, giving runners a broad sense of place as they move through Costa Teguise, Arrecife, San Bartolomé, and Puerto del Carmen. The combination of seaside scenery, relatively flat roads, and a warm-weather winter racing window has helped make Lanzarote Marathon one of the Canary Islands’ standout international running events.
