Ironman Wales is one of the most challenging and scenic events in the global Ironman series, held annually in the picturesque town of Tenby, located on the southwest coast of Wales. This gruelling triathlon is renowned for its tough course, which pushes even the most seasoned athletes to their limits. The event consists of a 2.4-mile swim in the chilly waters of Carmarthen Bay, a 112-mile bike ride through the stunning yet demanding Welsh countryside, and a full marathon of 26.2 miles that winds through the historic streets of Tenby. The race is a true test of endurance, strength, and mental fortitude.

The bike course, in particular, is famous for its steep climbs and technical descents, offering breathtaking views as well as formidable challenges. Competitors must navigate over 2,000 metres of elevation, making it one of the toughest Ironman bike legs in the world. The marathon route is equally demanding, with multiple loops through Tenby’s hilly terrain, cheered on by enthusiastic locals and spectators who line the streets in support of the athletes. The unique combination of scenic beauty and rigorous difficulty has made Ironman Wales a favourite among triathletes looking for a race that tests their limits.

Beyond the race itself, Ironman Wales is celebrated for the vibrant community atmosphere it fosters. The town of Tenby fully embraces the event, with businesses, volunteers, and residents all coming together to support the athletes. This sense of community, combined with the dramatic coastal landscape, creates an unforgettable experience for participants and spectators alike.
