I bet the riders of the horses feel a lot better at the end of the race than the runners do, no matter how well the runners do.

The difference is that a human marathon runner will be done after 26 miles. A well-conditioned horse will keep on going. Fifty miles in a day is hard, but can be done; war horses did almost that much regularly. Some exceptional (usually Arab and/or Morgan crosses) can do 75. Arabian horses are splendid at endurance competitions and have been known to do 100 miles, though this is exceptional.

Okay, but to be fair, they should alternate challenges. Even years-- do a timed endurance race. Odd years-- do a timed sudoku puzzle.
Happy Flag Day to all and Happy Birthday to CatDancer!
