About the race
The Man Against Horse event in Prescott, Arizona is an endurance running and riding event that offers multiple course options and supporting services over a weekend. The event traces its origins to a 1983 bar bet on Whiskey Row in Prescott and has continued as a multi-distance community event.
Course options include:
- 50 Mile
- 25 Mile
- Intro Ride
- Half Marathon
Course maps and route files are provided, including Strava routes and Caltopo maps. Event logistics include packet pickup and vet checks the day before, a pre-race briefing, a kids free fun run, staggered race starts on race day, an evening banquet with awards, and a final cutoff time for course completion. Live tracking and posted results are available.
Awards include a perpetual Steel Cup for the best conditioned winner and buckles for 50 mile winners, with a fuller awards list in the race manual. The event maintains a community focus and donates to local charities; one named beneficiary is Bethany’s Gait, a 501(c)(3) ranch in Prescott that works with rescued horses and offers programs for military, first responders, and families.
Registration is available online and via mail-in forms. Additional event details, maps, and the race manual are published by the organizers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
