Man beats horse in 35 Km (21.7 miles) race

LONDON (Reuters) - Huw Lobb made history when he became the first man to win Britain's annual man vs. horse marathon.

The previous 24 runnings around the 35-km course raced over countryside and moorland round the small mid-Wales town of Llanwrtyd Wells had all been won by a horse.



But South Londoner Lobb, 27, a regular marathon runner, broke through Saturday to triumph in two hours, five minutes and 19 seconds and pick up the $45,500 winner's check.



A record 566 runners from Britain and other parts of Europe took part, challenging 47 horses and their riders.
