Can a man ever beat a horse in a foot race? Every year since 1980, a small town in Wales has been trying to find out.
Laurence Bassett speaks to long distance runner Huw Lobb and race creator Gordon Green about the 2004 race when, for the first time, two legs outran four.
This is a TBI Media production for the BBC World Service.
