Atmosphere and Fan Zones

One of the highlights of this event are the “fan zones”, which will be created at the different refreshment points along the route.

These “fan zones” are not simply places to pick up water and snacks; They are vibrant spaces full of energy and passion for cycling.

Here, spectators can gather to cheer on the riders, enjoy live music, participate in interactive activities and much more.

It is an opportunity for the cycling community to come together, share experiences and celebrate the spirit of the sport.

Categories and Awards

The Vuelta Ciclista a Lanzarote is an inclusive event that welcomes athletes of all ages and skill levels.

The categories available to participants range from Junior to Master 60, meaning there is a place for everyone, from the youngest riders just starting out in the sport to the most experienced who have been on the road for decades.

Recognitions for Everyone

But no matter which category you are in, each athlete who completes both stages of the event will receive a medal and a diploma.

These awards are not only a nice souvenir of the event, but also a way to celebrate your dedication, effort and passion for cycling.

Innovation in Prizes: NFT Trophies
