Annual Man v Horse Marathon by susiemc

Annual Man v Horse Marathon

This is an incredibly popular event in Llanwrtyd Wells. It's a 21 mile marathon in the Welsh hills where runners race against horses. This was the 36th year and during that time the horse has been beaten only twice. Our B&B is always over full at this time with runners and their friends and families. They've all been coming for many years.The top right picture shows Team Kilsby on our front steps and the other three pictures were taken at the end of our drive. It's been an exciting day.
(Chris did breakfasts while I supervised from my directors chair!)
This annual challenge is great - did the horse win again this year? Great collage showing the race. Nice to see a before shot of some competitors - Chris must be quite a dab hand now and hardly need a director. This is a great collage showing the runners and riders.

I hadn't heard about this. I guess you didn't enter this year! Hope you are progressing well. Love the people in mid air in the top right shot!
