Face The Dragon

With its legendary crowd support and breathtaking course, IRONMAN Wales is where endurance stories are made. Set in the picturesque seaside town of Tenby, Pembrokeshire, this iconic event transforms the “Iron Town” into a festival of sport and community spirit. Athletes dive into a spectacular sunrise swim on Tenby’s golden North Beach, take on a challenging bike route through the dramatic Pembrokeshire coastline, and finish with a vibrant, crowd-lined run through the heart of Tenby — an unforgettable experience that embodies the true spirit of Wales.

Face the Dragon, Sunday 13th September 2026 and fundraise for Wales Air Ambulance, every stroke, stride and pedal you take powers our helicopters flying and our rapid response vehicles on the ground.

Purchase your IRONMAN Wales place then register with Wales Air Ambulance by clicking on the Register Here button below. Wales Air Ambulance will reimburse 50% of your standard entry fee when you reach your fundraising goal. (t&c’s apply)

Wales Air Ambulance Reimbursement Scheme

When you fundraise for Wales Air Ambulance in your chosen Ironman event, we’ll help share the cost of your entry.

Here’s how it works:

• You buy your own place directly with Ironman.

• You commit to fundraising target for Wales Air Ambulance

• Once you’ve completed your event and raised the minimum pledge, we’ll reimburse 50% of your general entry fee as a thank-you for your support.

Example

IRONMAN 70.3 Swansea entry: £420

• Fundraising target: £800

• After the race, once fundraising is complete: £210 reimbursed back to you.

Why we do this

Reimbursing a percentage of your entry fee is a cost-effective way to support fundraising. It allows more of the money you raise to go directly towards keeping our helicopters in the air and saving lives across Wales, while still helping with the cost of your challenge. If you have any questions about fundraising or how donations may be used in this way, please don’t hesitate to contact us at events@walesairambulance.com
