Man Against Horse 50Mi

The Man Against Horse Race, held annually in Prescott, Arizona, is a unique endurance event where runners and horses compete simultaneously on the same challenging courses. The main race is a 50-mile loop featuring approximately 7,300 feet of elevation gain and loss, summiting Mingus Mountain at 7,600 feet. The terrain includes a mix of single track, double track, and dirt roads, traversing diverse landscapes from tall grasslands and high desert to ponderosa pine forests.

Additional distances include a 25-mile race sharing much of the 50-mile course and a half marathon (13 miles) designed as an intro ride or run with gentler elevation changes. The event celebrates a historic bar bet and fosters community spirit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
