The swimming is at Playa Chica, the running is Playa Chica to near Playa Blanca (and back, 4 times) and the cycling appears to be up the hill that starts with the 2 petrol stations (FV10), through Los Estancos, Tetir, La Matilla, Tefia, possibly Antigua & Tuineje, and back into Puerto. (eyes are getting tired and I'm not sure about Antigua/Tuineje bit, perhaps someone else can look at the map with fresher eyes please!)

You're right Tamara. Except he Antigua /Tuineje bit.

They will go through Los Estancos, Tetir, La Matilla. Then turn left to FV207, go through Tefia, past Tao. Will turn left to FV30 just for a couple of miles and turn left again to FV20, towards the capital, through Casillas del Angel & Tesjuate.

The roads will be (obviously) closed and I would expect the traffic on FV1 & FV2 to be heavier than usual.

Ocean Lava Puerto del Rosario Fuerteventura Triathlon will return much stronger in 2021, after a season in which triathlon Events have hardly been held in the Canary Islands due to the current health situation. The star triathlon event in Fuerteventura already has a new date, and the third edition will take place on October 8 and 9 in the island's capital.
The Ocean Lava Puerto del Rosario Fuerteventura Triathlon was scheduled to be held at the beginning of last October, after the event was cancelled in March when the state of alarm was decreed in the country due to the health situation. With much pain, the organizers gave priority to health and preventive measures, and were forced to definitively cancel the triathlon event scheduled for this year 2020.
Since then, work has not stopped to return in 2021 with more force than ever, and to be able to guarantee that all participating triathletes can compete in a safe test and in which all established protocols will be respected. Those registered for this year's edition were given the possibility of recovering the registration fee or transferring their place to next year.
The triathlon event will maintain its usual Olympic modality, with a 1.5-kilometer swim route, 40 kilometres by bicycle and conclude with a 10-kilometer race on foot. Some distances that will be completed in the surroundings of Puerto del Rosario, a municipality that will become the epicentre of the Canarian triathlon in October.
The registration period to participate in the triathlon test will open on January 1, with those interested having to complete a simple process through the official website of the test (www.oceanlavafuerteventura.com). There are many months ahead to be able to enjoy a new edition of the Ocean Lava Puerto del Rosario Triathlon, taking the first steps to be able to enjoy one of the most important Events on the sports Calendar on the island of Fuerteventura.
