Introducing Ex. Dragon Push - The Race to Passchendaele.

Prepare for an exhilarating and heart-pounding charity event like no other! On the monumental date of 10-11 Nov 2023, witness the awe-inspiring journey of the valiant members of the esteemed 104 Regiment Royal Artillery as they embark on an extraordinary quest from Raglan Barracks in Newport to the legendary Ypres Menin Gate in captivating Belgium. But hold on tight, as this race is no ordinary competition - it’s a virtual expedition that will push the limits of human endurance and courage. Brace yourself for three thrilling and unforgettable events that will leave you breathless.

1. The Mind-Blowing Cycling Challenge 226 Miles: From the moment the race begins at Raglan Barracks, the courageous members of 104 RA will pedal their way through treacherous terrains, conquering and overcoming every obstacle in their path. Their adrenaline-fueled journey will lead them to the memorizing Port of Dover, where the true battle awaits.

2. The Daring Rowing Endeavour 29 or 58 miles: As the cyclists reach the Port of Dover, the action intensifies. Witness the athletes transition from land to sea, as they plunge into the vast depths of the ocean and row their way across the turbulent waters towards the shores of Calais or Dunkirk. Every stroke of their oars represents an unwavering commitment to triumph over adversity and surmount the impossible.

3. The Unforgettable Marathon to Victory 72 or 44 miles: As the triumphant rowers set foot on foreign land, their spirits soar higher than ever. With unyielding determination, they lace up their running shoes and embark on a grueling marathon + from the historic Calais or Dunkirk all the way to the magnificent city of Ypres, Belgium. Their ultimate destination? The awe-inspiring Menin Gate - a symbol of valour and remembrance.

Get ready to be captivated by the unbreakable spirit of their extraordinary warriors as they push themselves beyond their limits, demonstrating unwavering resilience, and showcasing the true power of the human spirit. Dragon Push is not just a race; it’s an extraordinary testament to the indomitable strength of the human will.
