Diolch! Thanks! To the lovely Lowri Morgan for chatting to us about her Ras Cefn y Draigg (Dragon’s Back Race) experience in 2019 where she crossed the finish line as 4th female and first in her age category, looking so strong with her 4-year-old son on her back, despite having been battling a knee injury for over half of the race! Lowri is Wales' finest TV presenter and BAFTA-award-winning broadcaster commentated on last year’s race and the 2021 race film.

Also a coach, Lowri shares her top tips about training for and completing your first Dragon’s Back Race, and also revealing what it’s like to do the race commentary as she did for the 2024 race and the 2021 Dragon’s Back feature film - with wonderful snippets of Welsh woven into the coverage. We will be learning some key Welsh phrases with Lowri too. Diolch Lowri! And am dani! (Let's do this!) Let's see some golygfa lovely (lovely views) after some dringfeydd serth (steep climbs) and get bwedi linon laan (totally knackered!).
