The winner receives livestock in this Swiss race

The winner of most races receives a medal, trophy, or cash prize. However, at the Blowers bullfighting race in Bühl, Switzerland, the winner is given livestock. Swiss 5,000m and 10,000m national record holders this year, Dominic Robalwon the 8.1km race in a course record time of 22:17, and was given a real bull for his efforts.

according to racing website, the winner of the men’s elite race receives a standing bull as the emblem of the city of Buhl. The first female finisher wins the cow.

In the women’s elite race, Kasanesh Ayanyu Finished the 6.2km course at 19:10 and won the race, 5 seconds ahead of the course record of 19:05.

The Bulloise Bullfight event attracts around 4,000 runners each year and attracts a large, enthusiastic local crowd. Buret’s history is somewhat unclear, but historians say the town was named after his 10th-century farming industry.

The race was founded in 1976, but the practice of giving bulls as prizes began in 1985. Years later, a cow was awarded to the fastest female runner.

If you’re thinking what I’m thinking, “How do two athletes take home their huge prizes?” Cows and bulls are returned to their original farms, but named and owned after the two champions.
