Man Against Horse 50Mi

Prescott, United States • 18 Oct 2025

The Man Against Horse Race, held annually in Prescott, Arizona, is a unique endurance event where runners and horseback riders compete simultaneously on the same courses. The race features three distances: a challenging 50-mile loop with about 7,300 feet of elevation gain and loss, traversing diverse terrain from grasslands and high desert to ponderosa pine forests; a 25-mile course sharing much of the 50-mile route with similar trail composition; and a half marathon (13 miles) designed as an intro ride or run with gentler rolling hills and scenic views of Prescott Valley. Established in 1983 from a bar bet, this historic race offers a distinctive blend of competition and natural beauty. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
