Thousands of spectators gathered at Khunda village in the northwestern district of Attock, Punjab, some 80 kilometres from Islamabad to watch the bull race. In rural areas, bull race is one of the most anticipated events due to its thrilling and aggressive nature. It also depicts the pride farmers have for their animals, the jockey does not ride but boards on a wooden board and is dragged by the bull. The participants have to cover a 350 meter course and guide the bull through poles placed 10 meters apart. The traditional competition attracts landlords and farmers from all around the province where the race is held, and they all bring their fastest and strongest bulls in hopes of gaining a reputation.
