Dragon's Back Race 2027

Dragon's Back Race is considered to be one of the toughest mountain races in the UK, with participants attempting The Dragon needing to cover 380km with 16,400m of ascent down the Dragon’s Back of Wales.


Running alongside, The Hatchling can be thought of as a ‘choose-your-own adventure’ in which participants can choose to do either the first half or the second half of the race route each day. A huge undertaking in itself, but also an incredible way to experience all the mountains of Wales have to offer.


Dragon’s Fire provides an exhilarating two-day introduction to Dragon’s Back Race, starting with the iconic start at Conwy Castle and tackling the most challenging terrain of the event.


Dragon’s Tail captures the unforgettable final chapters of the Dragon’s Back Race, a two-day journey traversing the Bannau Brycheiniog and culminating in a triumphant finale in Cardiff.
