No more Lanzarote International Duathlon

The event which has seemed like part of the fabric of Club La Santa, Lanzarote, has seen its last edition following this news today from the popular Canary Island training venue:

“After more than twenty editions it has been decided not to continue with the organization of the International Lanzarote Duathlon for 2019.
