Janne William Wetzel 🇨🇭
“The race was brutal and epic and it was fantastic to finish. One of the highlights for me was the amazing crew. Smiling, supportive and patient from early morning to late at night, always encouraging, laughing and joking.”
Terry Atkinson 🏴
“One of the best weeks I've ever had. It's been fantastic. I didn't realise what I could achieve. It's been wonderful. I've really been inspired by everybody. I've definitely gone beyond my limits this week.”
Bev Tucker 🏴
“It's the world’s toughest mountain race, or it’s the world’s biggest self-learning event, or it’s actually a really high-quality, good-value walking holiday. What better way to see Wales?"
Chris Cope 🇬🇧
“What a week that was! Despite not coming home with another dragon trophy, I had an amazing week, learned a lot about myself, made new friends along the way and came home with stories to tell."
Kirsten Isak 🇩🇰
“The Dragon’s Back Race is a special event, not just because it follows an incredible route through some of the UK’s most beautiful countryside and mountains, but because it is organised and delivered with such thought, efficiency and passion. How does one move on from such an experience? I feel trapped by the unwillingness of my mind to move on, such was the enormity of the whole event and my desperation to recall and relive all its precious moments."
Filippo Faralla 🇿🇦
“I set out to conquer my dragon, and gain more self-confidence on exposed terrain. I accomplished that. I really liked how it was run. The volunteers were probably the best bunch of volunteers I’ve ever seen, the community spirit was fantastic, the food was great.”
Adrian Busolini 🇬🇧
“I've been running for 25 years and this is by a mile the best event I have ever done, I couldn't finish it this time but I am literally counting the days until I can have another go.”
Helen Brown 🇬🇧
