What an incredible experience to have run and finished this race. Harder, steeper, longer and more challenging than I ever imagined. Great event staff, participants and volunteers. Thank you Dragon's Back, I'm a very proud (and exhausted) slayer!

An epic race and an experience I will remember for the rest of my life! Super-well organized in every way

The Dragon’s Back Race does indeed live up to its reputation as the most brutal multi-stage ultra event. And I enjoyed every single minute of it. Kudos to the volunteers who were always smiling and helping you out at the support point and camp site, the media team, chefs, medics, and the RD
