We are very happy to recommend Joe Faulkner and his team at NAV4. Their Mountain Running Skills and Mountain Running Essentials courses have been specifically designed for mountain runners and mountain marathon competitors and are highly relevant to less experienced competitors wishing to take part in any of our mountain running events such as the Dragon’s Back Race™ , Marmot Dark Mountains™ , Great Lakeland 3Day™, Marmot24™ and the Rab Mountain Marathon™. These courses are also recommended for novice competitors at the Original Mountain Marathon , Lowe Alpine Mountain Marathon  and Saunders Lakeland Mountain Marathon and many other similar events.

YHA Conwy has been reserved for exclusive use by Berghaus Dragon's Back Race™ competitors (and marshals) ONLY on Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st June 2015. It is only possible for competitors to book a dormitory bed rather than booking a room for exclusive use; this is so we can accommodate as many competitors as possible on these nights. We expect demand to be very high as pre-race registration, briefing and meal will all be held at the YHA on Sunday 21st. There are only 80 beds at YHA Conwy but there are plenty of other options (B&B's, Hotels etc in Conwy). Beds at YHA Conwy will be sold on a first come, first served basis.
