One of the world's toughest running events, the original Dragon’s Back Race happened just once in September 1992 and ever since, it has been whispered about with a mix of awe and trepidation. Tracing the mountainous spine of Wales from Conwy Castle to Carreg Cennen Castle this incredible 5-day journey is approximately 320 kilometres long with 17,000 metres. Follow the exploits of those who dared take on the even tougher 2012 course including all the 3,000 ft Welsh mountains on day one.
(Note: There are two chances to see this film. On Saturday evening we're premiering the film which will be followed by a Q&A with race organiser Shane Ohly, 2012 winner Steve Burkinshaw, second placed Rob Baker and 1992 winner Helene Whitaker.
