The Horse Versus Man Marathon is a popular sports event in Wales. It is very
unusual because people and horses run in the same race! The marathon is every
year in June in the Welsh town of Llanwetyd Wells. Hundreds of people and horses
from all over the world participate in the race.
The marathon has got very simple rules. Humans and horses can run in the race,
but each horse must have a rider. Humans and horses run for 35 kilometres and the
first person or horse to pass the finish line wins the race. The race starts in the town
centre and then the runners race over roads, up hills and across fields and streams.
Horses can run very fast so they usually win the race. Huw Lobb, from London, is
the first human to win a Horse Versus Man Marathon. Lobb often runs in marathons,
but he doesn’t usually run with horses. He is very happy about his amazing success.
