Ironman Wales 2023: Live updates, pictures, and results from Tenby

More than 2,000 athletes are set to line up on Tenby's North Beach to tackle one of the most brutal endurance events a human can do – an ironman triathlon. Crowds gathered in the early-morning sun on Sunday to cheer on the athletes.

During the course of today competitors are completing a 2.4-mile sea swim, hilly 112-mile bike ride, and full marathon within 17 hours. The course at Tenby is renowned for being one of the toughest but incredibly beautiful. The hills of Pembrokeshire can (and do) break the spirit of even a hardened athlete.

However what makes Ironman Wales stand out is not the course, or even the scenery – it is the way local people embrace the event. You can read our special report on how the race helped transform the once one stage and hen party hotspot here.

We will bring you all the latest images and updates from the course as the athletes take on the race. You can read updates below.
