Volcano Triathlon 2025: A legendary edition that reaffirms Lanzarote as the capital of triathlon

‍💥 Absolute dominance by Anne Haug and revalidation by Laurens Verluyten

In the female category, Anne Haug left no room for surprise. The IRONMAN world champion, a regular in Lanzarote, led the race from start to finish with overwhelming superiority. From the swimming segment, he set the pace, maintained his advantage during the 40 km of cycling and finished with an unattainable pace in the running race. Stopped the stopwatch at 2:05:51, with an advantage of almost 16 minutes over the runner-up.

In the male category, Laurens Verluyten returned to the top of the podium for the second year in a row. Although the British Oscar Hobson led swimming, it was in the cycling segment where the Belgian demonstrated his strength, overtaking his rivals and defending his advantage firmly until he crossed the finish line with a final time of 1:57:20.

👶 Volcano Kids: The Seedbed of the Future

The day before the main event, the Volcano Kids, where more than 40 boys and girls between 7 and 17 years old participated in tests adapted by age. This initiative, promoted by Club La Santa and local institutions, seeks to promote grassroots sports and the culture of effort since childhood.

The event was made possible thanks to the collaboration of Cabildo of Lanzarote, Lanzarote Tourism, European Sports Destination, and the municipalities of Teguise and Tinajo, who, with their support, reinforce the island's position as a high-level sports destination.
