About the Man against Horse Race
The man against horse race dates back to 1980 when a gentleman suggested that man could be equal to that of a horse over a substantial distance across the country. The event hosts each October in Prescott, Arizona. The racers run simultaneously over 25 or 50-mile courses over rough and bumpy country terrain with horses. The path along the way escalates roughly between 5,000 and 7,600 feet in altitude.
The event is paired with endurance on the rocky trails in the Mingus Mountain of Prescott National Forest in Arizona. Running fans and enthusiasts all come together to enjoy the challenge of man and horse compete on three loop tracks. It involves a 12-mile progression of rolling terrain along with two 25 mile and 50-mile paths of rough climbing elevation. The runners and horse riders compete concurrently to the finish.
