Lanzarote Activities
We bring Serpentine coaches and organise a week packed with activities. Those are primarily catered towards running, swimming and biking, with sessions for all, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned tri-athlete. We also organise a wide-ranging social programme so that everyone feel included, even if they don't know many others in the club, or are injured and can’t train.
The training timetable for next year has not been finalised yet but you can find the one for 2023 here for reference. Activities such as the Frank Horwill Mile, the Mini-Tri and "The Quiz" have been very popular and we’ll do our best to bring them back in our next trip.
Club La Santa also offers a comprehensive range of sporting and non-sporting activities, from tennis, windsurfing, open water swimming to yoga, pilates, TRX etc. which you can book on site. Most activities are free, however here is a charge for some off-site ones, such as scuba diving, golf, surfing etc.
Running
Our trip includes daily coached training and running technique sessions at the track as well as runs over various distances on the local roads and trails, and regular group recovery runs. We try to also to organise a trip further from the club to allow the runners to see other parts of the island. Sessions can be tailored and run routes lengthened/shortened to suit individuals and what they are training for. Different run routes are used throughout the week on a variety of terrain and undulation.
Club La Santa also organises running activities, a 5k/10k road race and a half-marathon each week which anyone can sign up for.

Swimming
We organise coached swim sessions every morning and evening, in lanes which are reserved for us in the Olympic swimming pools. The sessions cover both fitness and technique and are great to improve your swimming. Sessions are open to all levels of swimmers, from relatively beginners to advanced. You do need however to be able to swim at least 2 lengths of the 50m pool in some fashion to join the sessions. Complete beginners can book swimming lessons with the Club La Santa Green Team.
You also have the opportunity to practice your open water swimming technique in the Lagoon (with wetsuits) most mornings and evenings. We usually organise several open water swim coached sessions during the week, and we hope to arrange an open water 'handicap' swim race.
Of course you can also use any of the three the Olympic pools outside of our sessions, provided that they are available.
Cycling
Highlight of the cycling training are the group rides. Each day you will find a range of group rides of varying lengths, short (<50k) to over 100k, and of various climbing. We also arrange dedicated coached technique sessions focused on improving specific skills like group riding, or bike handling.
The group rides are not coached rides but are led by volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering to lead a ride please contact the organisers.
Triathlon
In addition to the individual disciplines, we usually organise a "Serpies Mini Tri" during the week. It is a good fun and nice environment for beginners to try their first triathlon We also try to run triathlon specific training such as ‘brick' sessions and transition training.
Club La Santa also organises a mini-tri and a weekly Aquathlon and Duathlon. These are great events to take part in or support.
Other/Offsite Activities
Club La Santa has a whole range of other activities taking place throughout the week, such as windsurfing, tennis, volleyball, aerobics etc. It is possible to hire the equipment required for any activity from Sports Booking or the App and, for most sports, this is free of charge. The weekly program of events taking place at Club La Santa can be found on the La Santa website.
There is also a wellness centre that has saunas, a jacuzzi, steam room.
In the past, groups have gone on day trips elsewhere on the island (at an additional cost). One popular activity for example was to go mountain biking on Graciosa Island to the north of Lanzarote. This can be organised by individuals either prior to arriving in Lanzarote or with Sports Booking once you are there.
