The scenic route weaves along the country roads and through pretty villages, passing spectators hot spots and two aid stations on it's way. The route then takes the B4436 back onto the A4067, along the bay, into the city and back into East Burrows Car Park where Transition will be.

RUN - From Transition, the run course is anbsimple out and back twice along the beautiful Swansea Bay. Athletes will pass two spectator hotspots, the Tri Club Village, three aid stations and Red Bull, before taking on the last lap. The only change on the second lap is that athletes will continue along Oystermouth Road and into Museum Gardens, where they will run down the red carpet and complete IRONMAN 70.3
