Rnz: Afternoons With Jesse Mulligan

Human or Horse? Who would win a 40 km race? It sounds like the kind of question you'd toss around after a few too many beers at the pub... and that is exactly where the idea for 'The Only Fools and Horses Race' came to life. Runners and horses will go head-to-head in a race through rugged terrain in central Otago While horses can average speeds of up to 40km/h, Humans typically run at around 10km/h ... but who have the endurance to go all the way? 'The Only Fools and Horses Race' coordinator Steve Tripp joins Jese to explain why this is happening.
