Enjoy July in Swansea

IRONMAN 70.3 Swansea

Swansea is set to host another world-class sporting event, with the IRONMAN 70.3 Swansea returning to the city on Sunday 12 July. 

The race combines a 1.2-mile swim in the Prince of Wales Dock with a 56-mile cycle around Gower before culminating in 13.1-mile run around the city centre and along the stunning sweep of Swansea Bay, no wonder it was voted third best IRONMAN 70.3 run route in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

Whilst you can no longer enter this sold-out race, we hope that you will come along and support the athletes. Find out more about the race and where you can watch and cheer them on.

It is necessary to close some roads to usual traffic to ensure the safety of both participating athletes and spectators.
