About Our Long Course Triathlon
Launched as a new concept in 2010, over 5000 athletes and supporters travelled to Tenby in Pembrokeshire to take in the closed roads, spectacular views and a great Town centre atmosphere. Long Course Weekend serves as the perfect training weekend for Ironman Wales, sharing both the Swim and Bike courses.
Last year, of the 1350 athletes; 40 brave souls signed up to compete for the coveted long course medal; only 16 finished, sadly with no female making the finish line. So come on girls, come and take the title this year!
So this is how the weekend works –
1) you can enter any amount of the races you like at whatever distance you like. Swim and run or bike and swim or simply come down and do one event.
2) or enter all three and compete for The Long Course Weekend Medal that only 16 individuals currently hold. N.B to hold the long course medal you must complete all 3 events at the longer distance – 3.8k swim / 112mile bike / 26.2 mile run.
