IRONMAN UK provides 17 hours of spectating opportunity. You can find a link below to our updated Spectator Guide which offers advice on the best way to get around the area and view the action from the roadside. The guide also includes a list of places to eat in Bolton and lists the road closures to avoid.

The 2013 Spectator Guide will be available in the weeks leading up to the race, so that spectators can plan their day and the best locations to see their athletes.
