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!
