Mongol Derby: 'Like the Tour de France
crossed with Snakes and Ladders'.
It wasn’t unusual to travel as long as 1,000
kilometers by horse to convey messages centuries ago before the telegram took the
place. Numbers of horses and stations were needed to operate such communication
network for huge territories such as Mongolian Empire in the 13th
century.
Now, the long-distance enduring horseback riding
has become a racing event which was recognized by the Guinness Book of Records
in 2011 as the world's lengthiest.
Enjoy reading and learning about the
longest racing event is like.
