Early Saturday morning, Ludivine, a 2½-year-old hound dog, was let out of the house in Elkmont, Alabama, to do her business. Prone to roaming around town at will, Ludivine snuck out of the backyard and made her way to the starting area of the inaugural Trackless Train Trek Half Marathon about a quarter mile away.
Ludivine proceeded to mingle with the runners, run the entire 13.1-mile course, cross the finish line in an unofficial 1:32:56, and have a medal draped over her floppy brown ears—all without her owner, April Hamlin, realizing she had wandered off in the first place. The incident was first reported in Canadian Running Magazine.

In Alabama?
He would have placed in the top three if it was a spelling contest.

This cracks me up for some reason.
"The medal was soon revoked when it was discovered that Ludivine did not pay the race fees. Four were injured in the ensuing melee. Ludivine was booked on four counts aggravated assault and one count for misdemeanor indecent exposure for reportedly defecating on the race path."

Story I read says she would have finished higher than 7th but stopped to sniff a dead rabbit that delayed her for a few minutes.

Earlier this month, Horvath told Runner's World that rather than keeping her eye on the prize, Ludivine also ventured off-course to mingle with mules and cows before rejoining her human competitors.
This came as no surprise to the dog's owner. "Ludivine was bred to be a tracking dog at the local prison and was culled due to her inability to focus on the task at hand," Hamlin told TODAY.com.

Iditarod proves this to be a myth.

The link in the OP says she was doing all sorts of shite because of distractions, she kinda just hung out with the guy that finished 6th. She probably could of won the race had she stayed focused.

I had a black and tan coon hound once that could run like the wind. A neighbor told me he saw him run down a small buck about 5 miles from our house one time.
I would have loved to have seen that but if it's a lie, he told it.
to the hound.

fair point
maybe it's larger predators or some dogs, in their evolution from wolves, have been bred with stamina in mind
