August 15 — FT Chinija
Friday is dedicated to the youngest runners with FT Chinija, children’s races organized into different age categories to promote sport among Lanzarote’s youth.
August 16 — Main Races
Saturday hosts the flagship events, with distances of 7.5 km, 15 km, 25 km, and 45 km, designed for a range of abilities. All routes showcase unique natural settings, with coastal stretches, sandy paths, and mountain terrain.
An Unparalleled Natural Setting
The race unfolds in one of Lanzarote’s most iconic landscapes: Famara Beach and the cliffs that frame it. The combination of dunes, dramatic cliff faces, and views toward the Chinijo Archipelago makes Famara Total a sporting and visual experience like no other.
Registration and More Information
Registration is open on the official Famara Total website. Bibs often sell out quickly, especially for the Vertical race due to limited capacity.
