Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's "Running Man" Thread

How does one win the race against ‘Running Man?’
I can’t let it go.

I might not be remembering correctly, but I’m not sure you can. If you can, it would be by using the rabbit ear hat. I think I’ve even tried the horse once and I still lost.

Let it go, Dr. Dog. You can’t beat the running man; no matter how fast you run you will always lose by 1 second.

Nintendo has specifically stated that there is no way to get ahead of him.

Let it go, you can’t beat him.
Ever.
Why they put something like that in the game I don’t know.

Just once? I always used the horse, and I still lost. Had some good racing times, though.
