The Dragon's Back Race - what it's really like according to two 'normal' runners from London & Wales

  • Summary

  • Meet awesome Wild Ginger Running Patreons Christian Poulton and Lloyd Watkins, who both took on the infamous Dragon’s Back Race - a 380km, 6-day ultra over the mountainous spine of Wales, from Conwy Castle to Cardiff Castle every September. https://www.dragonsbackrace.com/


    Originally broadcast on YouTube here https://youtube.com/live/MvadSDFebas


    Christian completed the race while Lloyd DNFed on Day 4 - he’s going back for another shot this year. Join me to find out more about what the race is like, advice on training and racing and what the race means to both of them.


    Thanks so much for Christian and Lloyd for chatting to me for this broadcast and podcast, wishing Christian many congratulations and a good recovery, and best of luck to Lloyd in the 2025 Dragon's Back Race! https://www.dragonsbackrace.com/
