Can Man Beat Beast in a Foot Race? If It’s Hot Out, Maybe
What started as a hypothetical bar question has turned into an annual Welsh tradition. The Man VS. Horse Marathon is 22 miles long. The goal was to see if, given a large distance, humans had the stamina to defeat a horse in a race.
Humans don’t win often, and science suggests that the temperature outside is a huge factor. When race day is hotter, humans and horses both have slower times. The horses’ times are much more affected than humans.
