Since in was created in 2009, in Squaw Valley in California, and after having successfully visited more than 60 cities, the only “conscious triathlon” finally arrives to Madrid. It is made up of a 5 km run, a yoga master-class and a meditation session.

The day starts with a 5 km run where the aim is to get to the finish line without a hurry - you can run or walk, but the important thing is to warm up before the yoga class. The sports brand Adidas is the world sponsor for the Wanderlust, leading this race where nobody loses and everybody is a winner.

After the run, there is a yoga class where the attendants will enjoy a 90 minute class lead by the best Spanish yoga teachers and a DJ to create a unique atmosphere. It is a session open to all audiences, from beginners to advanced persons.

The triathlon ends with a meditation accompanied by acoustical music so that the attendants can enter in harmony with their body and soul.

Apart from the “conscious triathlon”, you can enjoy a day of activities related with healthy lifestyle. The food trucks area will offer organic food and the Kula Market will bring little businesses together showing their sustainable creations like jewelery, cosmetics and clothes.

You can also find talks and workshops around the Speakeasy and The Uncommons area will organize yoga classes in the duration of 30 to 40 minutes of different varieties like aeroyoga, acroyoga and wheel yoga.

It is an initiative that unites the yogi community of Madrid and that collaborates with the Spanish Cancer Association (AECC -Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer ). With the purchase of a VIP or the Early Bird entrance, 1 euro will be donated to the program “Espacio Activo Contra el Cáncer” that supports yoga workshops for patiens in cancer treatment.
