What started as nothing more than a pub bet has evolved into an epic annual event, as trail runners and horses alike flock to a small Welsh village to see who can get from A to B the fastest. With only two men finishing ahead of the horses in the last 30 years, the odds are stacked against them. Can Heather break the streak?

Do you reckon you could beat a horse in a race?

@kitschofield5307 2 года назад

You should definitely do it next year on a horse, Heather. Against Mark and James on foot ;)

@tommytp85 2 года назад

This needs to happen!

@3WalkingPoles 2 года назад

It must happen!

Definitely

@philiphexter8618 Год назад

I've very fond memories of this race. Way back in 1983 I came 2nd (2nd human!) to the great Dic Evans. Dic was interviewed near the start of this video, looking still slim and fit. Sut mae Dic! I beat some of the horses, but was outsprinted by a couple of horses at the end - it's hard to outsprint a horse!

@innesdunbar 2 года назад

Another vote for Heather on a horse and Mark and James on foot next year. Great running Heather, fantastic getting 2nd place.

I'm really enjoying these race reports on GTN, big thanks to Heather and the rest of the team for putting this together. And congratulations on the fine race result, what an amazing athlete Heather is. Chatting away and recording video and still get a podium finish.

Great video of a great day out,done the race 4 times now and I can confirm that the last leg is brutal on the legs, hope to see you next year.

HEATHER!!! THis is amazing!! Well done, I loved this video so much. So glad you kept going and got second woman even after feeling so rough for a lot of the race. You are an inspiration.

@thomasforshaw8396 2 года назад

Did this race a few years ago in constant rain but it was warm rain. The scenery of the course is amazing and I would thoroughly recommend giving it a go. An amazing experience, the whole town buzzes with race excitement.

@thomasforshaw8396 Год назад

@@kayvankarimi6360 it can be incredibly muddy, knee deep in places and other places quite rocky so very mixed terrain. I'd go for fell shoes

What a neat event!! Loved watching this. Great race!! I cant imagine it, running along and then , “oh there goes my competitor, the horse!” Haha!

What a unique event! Well done Heather! Seems like a fun adventure to try this race at some point.

@rogerstevens4818 2 года назад

Well done Heather sorry i missed you , as controller at the vet check I do not see all of you runners horses have to stop and there heart beat is checked and also condition by a team of Vets, and yes a runner did win this year hard to believe but its true . Thank you so much for this report

Amazing job, Heather! Well done! Congrats!

@ngdawgs1 2 года назад

Awesome job Heather!! The race and the course look Epic!! Can’t believe Mark and James bailed on you 🤣. Why didn’t you wear a hydration vest?

First horse was Invictus, riden by Kim. Cracking vid clip and game on if your using your horse Heather......think you could keep up our pace?

@tbl4r126 2 года назад

Depends on the distance.

@jeffreywilliams3646 2 года назад

As Heather was complaining during the run about how hard it was and how unfit she was, I was thinking that 5 minutes after she finished, she'd be thinking about doing it again. Because i'd be thinking about doing it again. Because we runners be crazy. Good job, Heather.

@Kelly_Ben Год назад

There's only 1 left, the Vermont 100! As an ultra runner and aspiring endurance rider, I hope to both run and ride the race in back to back years in the future. I wish it was the 50 miler though! 😆

@kelseywilcox3783 Месяц назад

She said “ look how easy that looks” please understand that horse riding is one the hardest sports in the world it’s not easy and we all have breathe as hard as the runners. Anyways both running and riding are hard and congrats for everyone who finished

Good Sunday watch video. Thanks.

@robertbachmann1573 6 месяцев назад

Wow Heather coming in 2nd with all the talking and filming she had to do! Did she manage to join the race in 2023 on a horse (e.g. Franklee)?

@levbobrov1398 2 года назад

Heather, did you beat any of the horses/riders? I've heard that while victories are rare, there are always a lot of people who beat at least some of the horses, which is still quite amazing.

@mikemills551 Год назад

Ok Heather...are you riding this years event????

@Kelly_Ben Год назад

This was fantastic! I agree, we need a GTN team with Heather riding and Mark and James running. The moments she rode past would be absolutely epic! 😆 Anyone interested in endurance riding should check out the channel BethEndurance, she's planning on riding this in 2023!

@MrRennieFrumpkin 2 года назад

Don’t forget for a fair comparison the runners would also need to be carrying a small mammal on their backs…🤔

The chap you chatted with at the start isn't old enough to have been at the first race. Did I misunderstand what you said? Glad you're using beer to get ready for a run - it's the way forward.

1980 not 1918! That makes much more sense!

@Cookefan59 2 года назад

The late great Jesse Owens was reduced to racing horses as a public spectacle after he refused to do even more demeaning things after his Olympic Gold Medal performance in Berlin 1936 to feed his family. It’s nice to see that this kind of spectacle has a positive place in Welsh culture. I’m sure Heather had plenty of “niggles” and “honklies” after this endeavor. Another pint 🍺 please!

@Kelly_Ben Год назад

It seems that if you've won Olympic gold, beating the world's best runners, then the next challenge would in fact be racing horses? The US has one man v horse race left as well, the Vermont 100. I plan on both running and riding it in the future, with great pride.
