Join a RAW Adventures Recce Event
Our official Recce Event provider, RAW Adventures, provide a meticulously organised schedule of dates that cover virtually the entire Dragon’s Back Race® route, complimenting runners’ own training plans, as well as focusing on race navigation, movement/running skills, personal and kit organisation. They also provide excellent networking and training opportunities.
Through various Dragon’s Back Race® Event Team roles, and managing previous Recce Events in 2019, 2021 and 2022, Kate from RAW Adventures has built up an expert knowledge of the current Dragon’s Back Race® route, including the new Day 6 to Cardiff Castle. Kate also ran in the Dragon’s Back Race® in 2021, reaching the summit of Pen y Fan towards the end of Day 5, before retiring with an injury. She is now re-training to enter the 2023 race. Kate is also supported by the excellent #TeamRAW: qualified, experienced and professional Run Guides with specific Dragon’s Back Race® experience, from running and/or Event Team work.
