Pairs of decorated bulls sprint a 100-metre track in regional heats through the dry season, ending in the Piala Presiden grand final each October.
Karapan Sapi is Madura's signature tradition: pairs of bulls yoked to a wooden sled race down a 100-metre track in a matter of seconds, cheered on by village crowds and gamelan. Heats are held across Madura's four regencies through the dry season, culminating in the Piala Presiden grand final each October.
