Over six days, competitors take on around 380km and 16,400m of ascent along the mountainous spine of Wales, passing through the patches of several Mountain Rescue Teams along the way.And rather brilliantly, the race supports the volunteer teams whose areas its runners travel through.Yesterday, we were delighted to receive a £250 donation, raised through donations from competitors taking part in this incredible challenge.As an entirely voluntary organisation, donations like this help us keep our vehicles on the road, replace and maintain essential rescue equipment, and make sure we’re ready to respond when the call comes.So, to the Dragon’s Back Race and, particularly, every competitor who chose to donate along the way: diolch o galon.You’ve already conquered the Dragon.
