Route information

80% of the 100mile route follows the Wales Coastal Path and passes through some stunning sceneary including the Gower Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the Glamorgan Heritage Coast. The remaining 20% of the 100 mile route leaves the Coast path and takes you inland through an excellant network of Forestry trails through the Afan Forest.

The Dragon 100k route starts with some rolling forest trails, then after approxiately 15 miles joins onto the Wales Coast Path at Kenfig sands and follows it to Cardiff.

Both routes finish at the iconic Norwegian Church after a run over the Cardiff Bay Barrage.

The Dragon 100mile route has approximately 3000 meters of ascent, and the Dragon 100k has approximately 1700 meters of ascent, so are perfect for a first 100 in either distance or a fast time.
