The Full Dragon
Considered to be one of the toughest mountain races in the world, participants attempting the Full Course will need to cover 380km with 16,400m of ascent along the Dragon’s Back of Wales.

The Hatchling
The Hatchling can be thought of as a ‘choose-your-own adventure’ in which participants can choose to do part of the race route each day - typically either the first half or the second half.
