PEOPLE in Exmoor are being urged to lend their time to the Ironman UK 70.3 competition when it returns to the area in June.

The gruelling competition includes a 1.2mile swim, a 56 mile bike ride and a 13.1 mile run.

Around 1,500 athletes will be competing for 100 qualifying places at the inaugural Ford Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Florida in November.

Volunteers are needed for various roles to assist with the smooth running of the event, and all volunteers will receive an official volunteer race crew t-shirt.
