Organiser's description
The Man v Horse Marathon came to be in June 1980 following a chat over a pint (or three) about the relative merits of men and horses running over mountainous terrain. The course was changed in 1982 to provide a more even match between the man and the horse, resulting year on year in very close finishes, but it took 25 years before a man finally beat a horse! Now internationally acclaimed event.
