Surf Life Saving Australia has cancelled today’s Iron Man and Iron Woman Series competition due to the beach closures and tsunami warnings in place across the east coast of New South Wales.
A new date and location for the round three event – the survival format – will be announced in coming days, organisers say.
Rounds one and two of the Iron Series were held at North Bondi Beach on Friday and Saturday.
