We're live from Last Tres Islas again for 2007!

Las Tres Islas 2007 (The 3 Island Challenge) is the latest in a series of innovative sports endurance events from Youths United taking place on Saturday June 2nd 2007.

It is a new form of “quadrathlon” – adapting the traditional form of triathlon to a more extreme, exciting event specifically tailored to suit the Canary Islands´ natural conditions.

Starting from the shores of La Graciosa island, going on to Lanzarote and finishing in Corralejo (Fuerteventura), Las Tres Islas 2007 offers the competitor a further challenge never before attempted in the Canary Islands- crossing 3 islands in one day – using nothing more than their own physical power.

SWIM - CLIMB - CYCLE - SAIL

Consisting of a 2km swim, 2 km steep cliff climb, 72km cycle and then 10km sail or kayak, the event’s unique format allows competitors to enter as:

•Solo; completing all 4 stages solo i.e. not sharing a tandem bike and not sharing a craft on the last stage, the sea crossing
•Individuals; completing all four stages, the bike stage can be completed on a tandem and the last stage can be completed on shared crafts for example sailing dinghy, yachts or a two man kayak
•Team; of 2, 3 or 4 people competing relay-style or 5 people if more than 1 person is needed for the last stage, the sea crossing to Fuerteventura.

This format gives everybody a chance to enter - seasoned multi-sports athletes will compete alongside less-confident athletes and those excelling in one particular discipline.
