Shane is a former elite mountain runner and the founder of Ourea Events, who organise some of the toughest races in the UK including the Dragons Back (6 days, 380km) Cape Wrath (8 days 400km) amongst others. We talk about Shane's background and his in-road in to running running events, and take a deep dive into the logistical considerations of shepherding hundreds of people through some of the most remote and technically challenging bits of the British Isles. This year's Dragon's Back race begins on the 5th of September and you can keep up to date with the action through @Oureaevents and @DragonsBackRace on social media.
