IRONKIDS Wales also returns this year with mini athletes hitting the course on Saturday 10th September and crossing the line on the famous IRONMAN finish.
The following day international athletes will again be among those on the starting line while enthusiastic spectators line the route to cheer on and support everyone taking part. The Pembrokeshire welcome is now famous around the world.

Cllr Rhys Sinnett, Pembrokeshire County Council Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services and Leisure, said:
“We are delighted to see the return of IRONMAN Wales after a two-year gap due to Covid restrictions.
“I’m sure the crowds will be eager to once again line the streets and routes and come out to support.
“Please take a moment to look at the road closure details ahead of the event. These road closures are required to ensure the safety of competitors and spectators.
“The event has become iconic on the IRONMAN world circuit and number one in the world for the welcome Pembrokeshire gives to IRONMAN athletes and visitors.
“The crowd make the event and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone once again welcoming IRONMAN and Pembrokeshire once again underlining that this is a county that can host and make a success of major events.”
Rebecca Sutherland, IRONMAN Wales Race Director, said:
“We are overjoyed to be back in Pembrokeshire hosting the tenth edition of IRONMAN Wales. This event has become infamous for its spectator support, from its goosebumps-inducing swim start to its Tour de France style crowds, and we know this year will be no different as thousands of athletes descend on the region.
“We would like to thank Pembrokeshire County Council, the communities across the course, and our dedicated staff, suppliers, and volunteers for their efforts in bringing IRONMAN Wales to life again.”
