Join a RAW Adventures Recce Event
Our official Recce Event provider, RAW Adventures, provide a meticulously organised schedule of dates that cover virtually the entire Dragon’s Back Race® route, complimenting runners’ own training plans, as well as focusing on race navigation, movement/running skills, personal and kit organisation. They also provide excellent networking and training opportunities, creating a strong and supportive community of runners who can stay in contact with each other via an Official Recce Events WhatsApp group.
Through various Dragon’s Back Race® Event Team roles since 2015, and managing previous Recce Events in 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023, Kate from RAW Adventures has built up an expert knowledge of the current Dragon’s Back Race® route, including any amended route sections, as they are agreed. Kate also ran in the Dragon’s Back Race® in 2021, reaching the summit of Pen y Fan towards the end of Day 5, before retiring with an injury. Recce Events are also supported by the excellent #TeamRAW: qualified, experienced and professional Run Guides with specific Dragon’s Back Race® experience, from running in the event and/or Event Team work.
