The next Berghaus Dragon's Back Race™ in 2017 may seem like a long way off, but it will come round quickly, and at this stage we want to highlight some key information:

Date - The Berghaus Dragon’s Back Race™ is an extraordinary adventure and the next race will be held in 2017. The provisional dates are: Monday 22nd – Friday 26th May 2017. These dates have been chosen so that our sister event, the Cape Wrath Ultra™, will happen on alternative years with each event always taking place in the last full week of May.

First of all, the medical team would like to offer hearty congratulations to all competitors whether or not they finished the whole course. You will be sent psychiatric referrals later!

I know there are friendships made and tears shed (by racers, organisers and marshals) and that everyone will have memories to last a lifetime from the past week.

Among the finishers of the Berghaus Dragon’s Back race at Cerreg Cennen Castle were the father and son pairing of Glenn and Huw Davies, certainly the first father and son pair to finish the race, with Huw the youngest ever finisher too.
