Over distance yes we can theoretically, over a distance race I mean rather than them trying to kill us!

They can run at 35mph for up to an hour so they'd smack us in a marathon.
Going by VO2max elite humans could compete with average dogs though. Then theres sled dogs(fittest animal on earth) who run the Iditarod race. 1100 miles in less than 9 days, pulling a sled whilst tied to other dogs in the snow.
