This race is held in Montefalco in Umbria. Each district trains and cares for an Ox throughout the winter, to then have it compete in August against the other districts. The bearers cheer their ox between two wings of the crowd and run at speed along a path traced in a large, rugged field. The ox that covers its path in the shortest time while respecting the boundaries of its lane will be the “champion”.
