Here are some interesting facts, gathered from various sources:

Built on an 18-Hectare Site

Legokjawa Arena spans approximately 18 hectares, making it one of the largest horse racing tracks in Indonesia, located within a tourist area. The grounds include the main track, paddocks, spectator stands, and other supporting facilities.

Oval Full-Dirt Track, 1,200 Meters Long

The racing track is oval-shaped, stretching 1,200 meters in length and 16 meters in width. Its surface is made entirely of sand (full dirt), suited to tropical racing conditions and ideal for Indonesian racehorses.
 

A 300-Meter Sprint Lane

In addition to the main oval, Legokjawa also features a 300-meter straight track. This lane is used for sprint-class events, where the fastest horses showcase their top speed.

The Only Racetrack in Indonesia Facing the Indian Ocean

Its location, steps away from the beach, offers an unmatched panorama. Spectators can watch horse races with the backdrop of the open sea, coral hills, and refreshing coastal air—making it one of the most exotic racetracks in the world.
 

From Cikembulan to Legokjawa: A Journey Through History

Originally, horse racing in Pangandaran was held in Cikembulan, near the West Beach. However, in the early 2000s, the races were relocated to Legokjawa to accommodate more advanced and professional facilities. The arena was revitalized ahead of the 2016 National Sports Week (PON) and has since become one of Indonesia’s premier horse racing centers.

From Local Tradition to National Stage

This arena is not just a racing venue—it is also a hub for preserving West Java’s equestrian heritage. Today, it hosts major events such as the Merdeka Cup, Regional Championships, and Indonesia’s Horse Racing (IHR) series.

Combining Sports & Tourism: Sports Tourism in Pangandaran

With its combination of competitive horse racing, dramatic natural settings, and access to tourist attractions, Legokjawa has great potential to be developed into an international sports tourism destination. Events like the Indonesia Horse Racing (IHR)-Merdeka Cup can attract tourists and boost the local economy.

Legokjawa, a Symbol of the Future of Racing

Legokjawa Racecourse is more than just speed and adrenaline. It is a symbol of the rich culture, competitive spirit, and future of Indonesian equestrian sports. Amidst the crashing waves of the Indian Ocean, champion horses are born — and history continues to be written in the sands of Legokjawa.
