Dragon Coastal Races

Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Wales as you embark on one of three incredible ultramarathons along the Wales Coast Path. The Dragon Coastal Races offer runners an unparalleled coastal adventure with distances ranging from 50km to a grueling 100 miles, all culminating at the iconic Norwegian Church in Cardiff Bay.
From the rugged cliffs and sandy beaches of Rhossili Bay to the serene dunes of Merthyr Mawr and the golden sands of Kenfig, each mile presents a unique challenge. Fast and runnable trails wind through these picturesque landscapes, offering clear paths that allow runners to focus on their journey while also presenting obstacles such as steep dunes and shifting shingle.
As night falls, participants will navigate Afan Forest under starlit skies, adding an element of mystery and adventure to the race experience. The route includes significant climbs along the Vale Heritage Coast, testing both physical endurance and mental fortitude. Each landmark encountered is a testament to Wales’ rich history and natural beauty.
The final push across the Cardiff Bay Barrage brings runners through one last stretch before reaching the finish line at the Norwegian Church in Cardiff Bay – an unforgettable conclusion that celebrates not just the race’s completion but also the camaraderie among participants who share this incredible journey. Whether you choose to conquer 50km, 50 miles, or the full 100-mile challenge, prepare for a race unlike any other.
