The IRONMAN UK & Ireland Tour 2017

IRONMAN racing on home soil couldn’t be in a stronger position. In 2017 we were treated to seven IRONMAN races in the UK & Ireland, and 2018 is already looking to be another bumper year of racing. As with every year, we have to pay tribute to the ones that we have lost and Sunday 25th June 2017 was the last edition of IRONMAN 70.3 Exmoor, Wimbleball. An iconic event that will be missed.

We have collated our extensive coverage to revisit the 2017 season…
