Ironman 70.3 Lanzarote was the eleventh race within the European Tour and was held for the first time on November 10, 2012 (official spelling: Club La Santa Ironman 70.3 Lanzarote).
For the 2017 event, the bike course was changed to enable faster times: Instead of the long loop over the Tabayesco Valley and the Mirador del Haria, it is now on a turning point course towards the center of the island. On the new course 1000 meters in altitude have to be overcome and the old bike route was almost 1800 meters in altitude.
For the 2019 event, the venue was relocated from La Santa in the north of the island to Playa Blanca in the south and the race was carried out on a completely new course. However, due to adverse conditions, they had to forego swimming for a short time.
