Outdoor Lives by Mike Raine

Shane is the Chief Executive Officer of Ourea events. Ourea Events are well known as the organisers of challenging running events such as the Dragon’s Back Race and the Cape Wrath Trail Run. He is a seasoned elite runner and extreme climber himself; he currently holds the record for the fastest unsupported round of the Lake District Classic Rock Routes. Shane is also a member of the Kendal Mountain Rescue Team and has held senior roles within the team for the last ten years. Our conversation took place the day after he had run across Wales on a weekend off.
