Plan your journey in advance
The 2018 edition of IRONMAN 70.3 Staffordshire will take place Sunday 10 June 2018, and is the first year that the race finishes in Stafford Town Centre.
The brand new run course for 2018 takes athletes into the heart of Stafford Town Centre, with the swim course remaining at Chasewater and the bike course being altered slightly to accommodate the move to Stafford.
The 13.1 mile run course around Stafford will mean even more people will get to see the athletes in action, and cheer them on towards the finish line at Market Square.
People are now being urged to plan any travel well in advance.
