Ironman Wales returns to Tenby and Pembrokeshire this weekend and there will be full and partial road closures in and around the south of the County.

The trithalon will be held on Sunday, September 22 with thousands of athletes from all over the world taking part in a 2.3mile swim, followed by a 112mile bike ride before finishing with a 26.2mile run.

The swim starts at 7.30am on Tenby’s North Beach and the predicted last finisher time for the line along the Esplanade is around 1am.

There will also be restrictions in Tenby town centre on the Saturday when the Ironkids event takes place.

Full information outlining road closures and alternative routes available across the course is available on the Ironman website at: www.ironman.com/im-wales-course to help residents plan their travel ahead of the event.

The A40 and A477 will remain open and are unaffected to facilitate access east-west throughout the event. Emergency services will maintain full access.

Due to the road closure it will not be possible for the 387/8 (Coastal Cruiser) bus service to operate on September 22.

A park and ride shuttle bus will be running on Saturday and Sunday from Carew Airfield and Saundersfoot.
