However, in an update provided by Fishguard and Goodwick Council, it has been announced that road closings in the city center will not be applied.
“We have an update of the activity of the Wales / Pembrokeshire County Council of a change of route for the race course this weekend,” said a spokesperson for the municipal council.
“Due to a reduced number of athletes this year, the decision was made not to enforce road closures in downtown Fishguard, as it is estimated that the level of disturbance is not justified.
