Pacu Jawi or cattle speed race is a traditional village game event originating in West Sumatra and only in Tanah Datar District.

Pacu Jawi atau lomba kecepatan sapi merupakan acara permainan tradisional desa yang berasal di Sumatera Barat dan hanya ada di Kabupaten Tanah Datar.

Jawi runway activity is a means of entertainment eagerly awaited by the local community. Usually this tradition event is held on the second week or at the closing time of jawi jawi and become a big event in that area.

Kegiatan pacu jawi ini menjadi sarana hiburan yang ditunggu-tunggu oleh masyarakat setempat. Biasanya acara tradisi ini diselenggarakan pada minggu ke-II atau pada waktu penutupan pacu jawi dan menjadi perhelatan yang besar di daerah itu.

The event was conducted in the community's wetland and the location was not fixed at one location only. In one race period, the number of jawi or cattle that raced reach 600 to 700 tail.

Acara dilakukan di sawah milik masyarakat dan tempatnya tidak tetap pada satu lokasi saja. Dalam satu masa perlombaan, jumlah jawi atau sapi yang berpacu mencapai 600 hingga 700 ekor.

Pacu jawi is followed by cows in pairs that are controlled by a jockey holding on to a cow's tail. Jockey with no wearing footwear ran along with his jaws in the rice field full of mud and water.

Pacu jawi diikuti oleh sapi secara berpasangan yang dikendalikan oleh joki yang berpegangan pada ekor sapi. Joki dengan tidak memakai alas kaki ikut berlari bersama jawinya di dalam sawah yang penuh lumpur dan air.

At the time of the race occasionally also happened sale and purchase transaction of cattle between trader and owner of cow. Cows that often win the race will be targeted by many people and the price up to two-fold.

Pada waktu perlombaan berlangsung kadangkala juga terjadi transaksi jual beli sapi antara pedagang dan pemilik sapi. Sapi yang sering menang lomba akan diincar oleh banyak orang dan harganya naik hingga dua kali lipat.

The winner of the cow runner is that the pair of cows can run the most straightly without even turning to the finish line or the finish line without turning, even those that move into other fields.

Pemenang pacu sapi adalah yang sepasang sapinya dapat berlari paling lurus tanpa sedikitpun berbelok hingga ke garis akhir atau garis finish tanpa berbelok, bahkan adapula yang berpindah ke sawah lain.
