This is how traffic will change in Marbella for the Ironman event in November

Marbella has 15 panels located at different points in the municipality providing information on the traffic incidents that will occur due to the celebration of the Ironman 70.3 World Championship, which the municipality will host on November 8 and 9. The sports event will cause alterations in vehicle circulation from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM on both days, so residents will need to plan their departures or arrivals to the municipality in advance. The competition will gather more than 7,000 athletes and around 30,000 companions and spectators, which will create significant logistical complexity in the municipality. The event will be organized by about 3,000 people, 150 land and sea vehicles, and the participation of 130 agents from the State Security Forces and the Local Police, in addition to Civil Protection volunteers coming to Marbella from the rest of the province of Málaga. The competition will mainly take place on Levante Beach in Puerto Banús, with a swimming course of 1,900 meters; a 90-kilometer bike ride through the municipalities of Marbella, Coín, Cártama, Monda, and Ojén; and a half marathon of 21 kilometers along the promenade. "The Ironman will require the cooperation of the citizens to ensure the smooth running of the event," states the Marbella City Council.
