The Music Marathon Festival kicks off the celebrations

The Music Marathon Festival celebrations moves to a new level as the island of Lanzarote prepares for their event of running and music.

An event to be had and enjoyed in the Canary Islands. Moved to a new date, the 1st March 2014 and touching on the carnival feeling, that is building up across the Canaries, the event promises to have something for all. No matter the weather, things should be rocking and rolling as the athletes ‘do their thing’ along the Avenida in Puerto Del Carmen.

Be there, as former winner, Jose Carlos Hernandez Cabreran, is hopefully strutting his stuff along the coastline. The local favourite, and Olympian, recently ran the Seville marathon, so hopefully the prospects of the athlete appearing are high, as the runner is always a delight to watch. His running action is that of a prize horse as he gallops ahead of the participants.

Amongst the women, there is every likelihood that Yvonne van Vlerken could be making an appearance, especially judging from all the events she has participated in and won across the Canary Islands over the last few months. From success in the Duathlon at Club La Santa in January to triumph in Gran Canaria over the half marathon, the blond Dutch athlete, would be the outstanding favourite, if she toed the line.

The event is certainly not about who is the swiftest and current entries certainly look as though the 400 participants mark shall be reached. This would be a success considering the change of date.

Yes, it is carnival time, and entries are still being taken on Friday the 28th February at the Hotel San Antonio, so if you have hesitated with your entry, get down on it and register, you shall not regret the experience.
