Dragon 100 & Dragon 50 Ultramarathons

Answer the call of the Wales Coast Path at the legendary Dragon Coastal Races on July 18th & 19th, 2026, an epic challenge that culminates in Cardiff Bay. This event offers three distinct journeys—the 100-mile odyssey from Rhossili, the 50-mile quest from Kenfig Dunes, and the dramatic 30-mile sprint from Dunraven Bay—all promising unforgettable coastal trail running. Unlike technical mountain ultras, these courses feature clear, runnable paths that are perfect for chasing personal bests, making the event highly attractive to both first-time and seasoned ultra-runners. Be warned: the Dragon's treasures are hard-won, requiring runners to conquer leg-burning climbs, shifting shingle, and the sprawling sand dunes of Merthyr Mawr. The 100-mile race adds a unique dimension by plunging into the shadowy singletrack of Afan Forest under cover of night before greeting the sunrise at Margam Park. Whether you choose the full 36-hour challenge of the 100-miler or the faster 14-hour pace of the 30-miler, you will tick off iconic landmarks like Nash Point Lighthouse and Penarth Pier. Entry fees include live GPS tracking, generous checkpoints, post-event food, and an exclusive buckle for 100-mile finishers, providing exceptional value. Determine your distance, prove your mettle on these fast and rewarding coastal trails, and earn the title of Dragon Slayer.
