endurance race

noun

an auto race over a closed course designed to test the endurance of both driver and vehicle and won by the car that covers the longest distance in an arbitrarily allotted time or by the car that is first to cover a predetermined long distance.

Almost from the first it became an obstacle race, a hurdle race, a long-distance endurance race, all in one.

It might have been different, probably would have, in an endurance race, for Indian horses are swift only in short runs.
