This does not show that a man can go "further". It's about who ends first.

And even at that, the race started at 1980, but the first time a man on foot won the race was in 2004.

One "man on foot" win in 24 races and that man being a marathon runner, does not bode well with the idea that man in general can outrun horses for long distances.
