PUMA sponsors the Ironman Lanzarote Canarias Triathlon 2008
This year, Puma grows together with the race itself and the Ironman Lanzarote is happy to present the PUMA Run course.
And for this occasion, to celebrate the PUMA Run Course, the company has decided not only to sponsor the race and the run course but they also sponsor 3 age group athletes. The 3 athletes, randomly chosen from the list of independent athletes (not club related), have received a series of RUNNING clothes and RUNNING shoes from PUMA: both for training and racing on race day, May 24.
Their names are Carlos, Mark Anthony and Moisés, three athletes whose main purpose is to reach the finish line. They were happily surprised and delighted by the amount and beautiful line of products received from PUMA.
For sure, they will be easily recognized on race day, as they obviously will wear the RUNNING line by PUMA and we will all be able to support them all along the PUMA RUN COURSE and give them a warm applause upon arrival at the finish line.
Thank you, PUMA, for this good idea! |

NEW BIKE COURSE FOR IRONMAN LANZAROTE 2007
19 April 2007
The island of Lanzarote has invested considerably in improving the roads of the island, renewing the tarmac of almost the whole bike course of Ironman Lanzarote, which will definitely ease this segment of the race.
However, it has not been possible to finalize the tarmacking of the whole course before race date. Therefore, the Ironman Lanzarote organization, i.e. Club La Santa and the Lanzarote Cabildo have designed a slightly modified bike course for this year's edition. Changes are from approx. km 61 in Mancha Blanca (Tinajo) and the following 30 km. |
