I've done the relay twice, and hope to do the full race this year (I didn't get a place, but I'm holding out for a drop out). We beat quite a few horses, many of them see it as a day out rather than a race. What I found was that horses win uphill and on the flat, but humans are vastly better going downhill. I managed to keep up with a group of horses as I could always catch up on the downhill, where the horse is at a big disadvantage. Good luck this year! It's an awesome event.
