FULL DETAILS FOR ROUTE TO BE CONFIRMED

This June, we’ll be reversing all routes, turning descents into testing climbs and giving recent Dragon Slayer’s a whole new challenge to conquer. Alongside reversing the route in 2026, we’re bringing back the legendary King and Queen of the Mountain challenge, with Devil’s Elbow returning as a timed climb. You’ll also experience the same spectacular views the pro peloton will face during the 2027 Tour de France Grand Départ, cresting Rhigos Mountain in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) along the route of Stage 3 from Welshpool > Cardiff.

Race Director Difficulty Rating: 11/10

The infamous Devil has been made even harder! You’ll face all the classic climbs made famous by this route. You’ll still climb Devil’s staircase form the regular direction, but you’ll face the others from the opposite direction to previous years.

This is not for the faint-hearted, and is truly a bucket list achievement! Please note, the Dragon Devil has now sold out for 2026.
