The Elephant Race Festival is held by the Mnong people in spring in Don Village or in the forests near Srepok River, Dak Lak Province.Because the space must be wide enough for around 10 elephants to race, villagers often choose a large, flat area. If the race is held in the forests, the area must be without too many big trees.
The elephants are led to the starting line, and when the horn command is given, the race begins. The elephants are encouraged by the sounds of drums, gongs and the cheering crowds while they are racing
When an elephant wins the race, it lifts its trunk above its head and waits for its prize. Although the prize is small, every rider is proud to be the race winner.
