Check your entry first.

Published updates and practical consequences for this specific race.
2026-10-04 / RACE SIGNAL
01A short-distance race, with an older Half description still online
The 2026 rules and registration offer Olympic, Supersprint and Olympic relay. Generic homepage text still mentions Half, and the distance pages retain older headings. Use your confirmed 2026 entry; do not build a Half plan from those older pages.
2026-10-04 / RACE SIGNAL
02Confirm your start before planning departure
The programme lists Olympic/relay at 08:00 and Supersprint at 08:10, while the rules list 08:30 and 08:00. The check-in closing time also differs. We show both published versions, not a guessed final start. Friday bib collection and the 19:00 briefing agree. All clocks are Canary Islands local time.

03Open the road plan dated 24 October 2026
The organiser has a current road PDF internally dated 24 October 2026, but its programme still links a file dated 25 October 2025 under a 2026 label. The current map covers Avenida de las Playas and LZ-40 restrictions; its overview and detailed Avenida timings also differ. Use the current file and confirm final access. No older course geometry is republished.
