• Planning: the most popular races may close registrations due to limited spots; check official websites in advance.
• Combine sport and tourism: take the opportunity to explore the island by running, walking or cycling in areas like Famara, La Geria or the seafront promenades.
• Safety: follow the organizers’ instructions and avoid training at night without reflective gear.
