The annual Memorial Hermann Ironman Texas Triathlon returns to Galveston this weekend.
The competition features a swim of more than a mile, a half-marathon run, and a 56-mile bike ride.
It gets underway at 6:30 a.m. on Sunday and ends at 1:30 p.m.
The bike race and part of the run course will be on Stewart Road, Cove View Boulevard, and FM 3005, so island residents and visitors can expect road closures and traffic delays.
