This is an 84 year old starting his 18K Apple Run event. He was given a head start and though he finished last, he finished. I hope I can walk, let along jog at his age. Octogenarian 18K Runner by Scott Thomas, on Flickr

I was happy to see harness racing return to the Indiana State Fair this year. Here are a pair of trotters entering the fourth turn. (For bonus points, who can tell the difference between trotters and pacers?) Fair race
Ones a horse the other a basketball team? Boy that was easy. In reality, doesn't it have to do with the number of hooves touching the ground at the same time? Like walking/jogging/running...
I should have known that @gary would have the correct answer. And, @RedOctober25, thanks for making the obligatory midwest NBA team reference.
