Ironman Wales has been cancelled again
Pembrokeshire County Council has announced the news this afternoon.
Council statement following postponement of IRONMAN Wales 2021:
Cllr Phil Baker, Pembrokeshire County Council Cabinet Member for Major Events, supported the decision to postpone the event originally planned for September 12th, 2021.
He added: “The postponement of IRONMAN Wales 2021 will, of course, be a disappointment to very many people, myself included, but this decision has been taken with public safety rightly at the forefront.
“Given the sheer number of spectators that have always supported IRONMAN, the narrow nature of parts of the course and the uncertainty that remains over the Covid-19 situation, following extensive discussions with organisers we have reluctantly decided it is not possible for us to support the event this year.
“While we now very much look forward to IRONMAN Wales Pembrokeshire in September 2022, we can confirm that we have also signed a five year host agreement to ensure that we keep IRONMAN Wales here in Pembrokeshire from 2022 – 2026.
“This is fantastic news for our County and for IRONMAN Wales.
“IRONMAN Wales and Pembrokeshire go hand in hand and I am delighted that this partnership will continue and build even bigger and better events.”
