When does the duathlon in Arrecife take place?

The II Duatlón Supersprint Ciudad de Arrecife is set for Saturday 12 December 2026, according to the registration platform of the Fecantri federation. The federation also lists the date in its calendar. No start time is confirmed.

Do spectators have to pay to get in?

The organiser has published nothing on an admission price or spectator rules. According to the rules, the course is a city circuit closed fully to traffic.

What is the registration deadline, and what does it cost?

The deadline is 7 December at 23:59, according to Trilanzarote; the federation has not confirmed this. The supersprint costs 25 euros with a licence and 35 euros without, and children pay 5 or 10 euros respectively.

Does the 31 October date still apply?

The registration platform and the federation's calendar give 12 December. An older notice from May still lists 31 October, so the date remains provisional.

Whom can I ask about the start location and closures?

For races, the Fecantri federation gives the email competiciones@fecantri.org and the number 633 868 407. The start location and closures have not yet been published.

Arrecife duathlon on 12 December, date still provisional

When and where does the duathlon in Arrecife take place?

The duathlon takes place in Arrecife on Saturday 12 December 2026, according to the registration platform of the Canarian triathlon federation, Fecantri. The federation's calendar lists the same day (as of 13 November 2026), but no start time is confirmed.

According to Trilanzarote (as of 2 October 2026), the federation has not published the exact start and finish points. The race was presented at La Recova de Arrecife, and the papers for the postponed February date say race numbers are handed out at the timing tent in the finish area.

The date is still treated as provisional, because a federation notice from May still gives 31 October. Anyone booking travel or accommodation should ask by email at competiciones@fecantri.org or on 633 868 407.

What does entry cost, and what applies to spectators?

The organiser has named no admission price for spectators. There is also no information on parking, spectator areas or getting there.

The rules do state that the course is an urban circuit closed fully to traffic. Which streets in Arrecife are affected is not known.

The Ayuntamiento (town council) of Arrecife has so far issued no notice on diversions. Visitors from the southern resorts should ask the federation about the venue and closures before setting off.

How does the race work?

The rules combine three Canarian championships: supersprint duathlon, supersprint duathlon for clubs, and duathlon for Infantil, Cadete and Juvenil (children and youth). A duathlon means run, cycle, run, and the supersprint is especially short.

All three parts run in laps on the closed city course, with four laps on the bike. According to the rules, the technical delegate of the event sets the final distances.

The first run is a flat out-and-back course with three turning points, run anticlockwise. On the bike, drafting is allowed between athletes of the same sex.

Whether there are semi-finals depends on the number of entries, according to the rules. With fewer than 30 starters of one sex, there is a straight final.

According to Fecantri, 24 reach the final when there are 31 to 40 starters. With more than 40, the best 12 of each heat and the 6 fastest times from the 2 semi-finals qualify.

Who can take part, and what does registration cost?

Registration runs from 6 May to 7 December at 23:59, according to Trilanzarote (checked there on 11 October 2026). The federation has not confirmed this deadline, and the platform page also shows a notice saying the event is over, although it is still to come.

That notice is considered unreliable. Anyone who wants to race should first confirm with the federation that registration is open.

In the supersprint, licensed entrants from Cadete upwards pay 25 euros and unlicensed entrants 35 euros; children from Prebenjamín to Infantil pay 5 or 10 euros respectively. Prices include tax, and administration fees are added, according to the registration platform.

The platform mentions no day licence for unlicensed entrants. No cap on entrants is known either.

Why was the date postponed, and who is organising?

The original date was 28 February 2026. On 27 February, the Canarian government and the Ayuntamiento of Arrecife suspended all outdoor activities on Lanzarote because of a storm, according to Trilanzarote.

Fecantri then named 31 October as the new date, and the platform later opened registration for 12 December. According to Fecantri, anyone who registered for the earlier date stays validly registered.

Anyone who cannot make the new date may ask for a refund, according to Fecantri. No deadline is given.

The registration platform names the Real Club Náutico de Arrecife (RCNA) as organiser. Other information names Fecantri and the Ayuntamiento of Arrecife, and according to Trilanzarote the race director is José Israel Caraballo Nieves.

What is easy to confuse, and what is still open?

The XXXII Triatlón RCNA–Ciudad de Arrecife is a different race and has already taken place in 2026. Saúl Escarabajal and Mia Leadbeater won it.

The Lanzarote International Marathon is set for 5 December 2026, according to a listing on running.life, and the 10-kilometre race starts in Arrecife. This rests on a single source.

According to Trilanzarote (as of 2 October 2026), the federation has published no new documents for the December date. Start times are not confirmed, and the times of the February programme remain to be clarified.
