The event, put on by food company Whole Earth, has taken part in the Welsh town since 1980 when the landlord of the Neuadd Arms Hotel pub overheard two men discussing the relative merits of men and horses running over mountainous terrain. On crossing the line, 6ft 4in Dan had no idea whether he had won as the people and animals take different routes.
"Since I started running, I've had an eye on doing Man Vs Horse one day. As I just missed out on the World Championship in Austria, I was looking for an inspiring event to keep the fire burning hot. The timing was right."
