We’re delighted to share that we’ll be continuing our Dragon’s Back Race® partnerships with RAW Adventures and Missing Link Coaching, ahead of the 2025 edition of the race.

The Dragon’s Back Race® is much more than just a race. It's an ‘event’. It’s an extraordinary test of endurance, grit, and determination that takes each participant on an unforgettable and profoundly personal journey regardless of whether they are trying to complete the full Dragon or the Hatchling. This year, once again, the effort put in by the participants was nothing short of amazing. The race is designed to challenge even the toughest runners, and what stood out to me, was how everyone rose up to test themselves. I’d very much like to emphasise my respect to everyone who toed the lined in Conwy Castle.

Jo Meek and Max King are this year's winners!

The penultimate day was a tough one, but the Castle is in sight!

The Elan Valley presented a different kind of challenge today.

The dragons are now halfway through, as Jo Meek and Max King pull into the lead.

It's an incredibly close race so far, particularly in the women's field with Zoe Murphy sneaking into the lead. Meanwhile, Max King extended his lead.

Max King and Jo Meek are in the lead at the end of Day 1, but they face some fierce competition.

Share the adventure and enjoy all the action from the 2024 Dragon’s Back Race®.

Here is how you can follow this awesome journey from Conwy castle to Cardiff castle, along the mountainous spine of Wales.
