What is the Man V Horse Marathon?
The Man V Horse Marathon, an annual tradition in Central Wales, actually began as a notion hatched in the Neuadd Arms Hotel and Brewery Pub in Llanwrtyd Wells, known as “the smallest town in Britain.” Gordon Green, then the landlord and proprietor of the Neuadd Arms, heard two pub patrons arguing about whether a man might beat a horse in a long-distance race. The Man V Horse Marathon concept was born. The first Man V Horse Marathon was held in June 1980.
