The Dragon 100 is an epic ultra-trail footrace from Rhossili Bay to Cardiff Bay 
Starting at the iconic Worms Head (the 50 from Kenfig Sands), runners follow the Wales Coast Path along the rolling and dramatic Gower coastline. As darkness approaches, you’ll be greeted by the bright lights of the Mumbles and a faster, less exposed section along the seafront of Swansea Bay. In the early hours of the morning it’s a change of pace and terrain with a long climb inland to the majestic and hilly Afan forest.
At first light runners will re-join the coast at Kenfig Nature Reserve and take on sand dunes river crossings on journey along the beautiful Vale of Glamorgan heritage coast before running over Cardiff Bay Barrage to the finish at the Captain Scott Memorial.
