The Boardwalk in Port Elizabeth is a hive of activity at the moment as athletes start converging on the city ahead of Ironman weekend.

Registration for Saturday's Irongirl, the corporate triathlon and ironkids, and Sunday's Ironman proper are all taking place alongside the expo.

Its all situated in the basement level of the new Boardwalk Hotel.

Expo co-ordinator Jeff Stubbings says they've got more than 50 exhibitors this year - up from 35 last year.

"There is over 50 stands with 50 different products all from the health and fitness industry, so whether it is nutrition, sports-gear, there is quite a large variety" Stubbings said.
