Wacky racers run 13 miles backwards

"Running a half-marathon in the right direction is difficult enough for most people. But completing the course running backwards is another matter altogether. Yet that's the challenge facing a group of health workers from Llandough Hospital when they compete in the Cardiff Half-Marathon later this month. The group of staff are now in training for the event and admit it's not going to be easy to complete the 13 miles facing the wrong direction. The team are raising money to buy gym equipment for the Cardiac Rehabilitation Support Group based at the University Hospital of Wales and looking for GBP1,000-plus in fundraising to bolster their run in reverse" WalesOnline
