Triathlons & Endurance

Consisting of a 2.4-mile (3.86 km) swim, a 112-mile (180.25 km) cycle ride and a marathon 26.22-mile (42.20 km) run, IRONMAN Wales is the epic event that serious endurance competitors and locals alike look forward to on a yearly basis.

Held in Tenby since 2011, the event actually spans a vast majority of South Pembrokeshire, taking in roads from Tenby, out towards Pembroke, up to Narberth and back through Wiseman’s Bridge and Saundersfoot, finishing in illuminated glory, on the famous Tenby Esplanade.

If IRONMAN is considered as one of the most grueling endurance triathlon events in the world, Tenby is often cited as one of the toughest IRONMAN courses out there. But it is a day to be enjoyed, and local support is always on point, with crowds there every step of the way for all of the 2,000+ competitors.

The TenFoot Swim is an event in which competitors complete a 5km sea swimming course from Tenby’s North Beach to Saundersfoot’s main beach with a half way safety and feed point at Monkstone Beach.

TenFoot Swim/Run

Swim/running is one of the fastest growing extreme endurance sports in Europe. Competitors swim sections of the course and run sections of others non stop, without transitions or changes of kit on a course between Tenby and Saundersfoot.

The course is a distance of roughly 10km, made up of 4km of swimming and 6km running split into 3 swim and 3 run sections.

FootStep Run

The FootStep Run is a mass participation community event with two separate races for children and adults.

Fancy dress is optional and prizes are on offer for best dressed!

Routes follow the Saundersfoot to Stepaside trail, heading up The Strand through to the old railway tunnels along beautiful Pembrokeshire coastline.
