ENTRIES ARE OPEN!

  • 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.

Are you ready for the adventure of a lifetime?

The Dragon’s Back Race® is a legendary 380km, 6-day ultra running journey through Wales.

From Conwy Castle to Cardiff Castle, enjoy spectacular scenery, amazing camaraderie and first class support on this once in a lifetime adventure!
