A marathon, eh? The winner depends on the WEATHER. :)

If it’s cold, the wolf comes in first, the horse second, the human third, and the cheetah last.

If it’s hot, the HUMAN COMES IN FIRST! Yes, that’s right. The horse comes in second, the wolf third, and the cheetah last.

The cheetah’s always last because cheetahs evolved for short sprints, not marathons. They don’t have stamina for the long haul.
