Activity Wales Events have announced that they have signed a three-year contract extension with the Wales International Coastal Centre to continue as host to the popular Saundersfoot Triathlon.

Phase 2 of the Wales International Coastal Centre multi-million-pound development at Saundersfoot Harbour has been continuing at a rapid pace over the past 12 months, with it nearing completion. As part of the development, attracting world class events to their unrivalled facilities has been a key focus for the team and the growing success of the Saundersfoot Triathlon has been acknowledged with this new deal.

Michael Davies, CEO of the WICC, had the following to say on the announcement: “I am thrilled to be able to confirm that we will be hosting Activity Wales and the Saundersfoot Triathlon here at the Wales International Coastal Centre in Saundersfoot Harbour for the next three years. The development of the harbour is part of a scheme that has been part-funded by European Funding, Welsh Government and the Coastal Communities Fund. We look forward to hosting other world-class sporting events in the near future.”

Matthew Evans, CEO at Activity Wales, was equally as positive saying: “We are delighted to announce a three-year extension with WICC. To be a part of the major investment and changes in and around the harbour development is a strong testament to the event itself and the vision of the WICC to bring world class sporting and cultural dates to the area. Saundersfoot Triathlon is viewed by both athletes and travelling supporters as one of the ‘must do’ races in the multisport calendar and we look forward to working closely with the WICC team to continue to improve and evolve this popular event.”
