The '''Big P Pokémon Race''' is a race held at the Laramie Big P Ranch in [[Safari Land]] to decide who has the best {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} raised at the ranch. The winner becomes an honorary member of the Laramie clan. The night before the race, a festival commemorating the event is held in Laramie Village. Although it is mainly entered by Trainers and one of their Pokémon, Pokémon are apparently allowed to enter as teams without a Trainer as well.

The race starts on a straight road. After this, an uphill climb over a steep hill follows. On the other side of the hill, the course goes down. The course continues over a set of rocks in a pond. The Pokémon either have to jump over the rocks or swim across the pond. Afterwards, the course goes downhill again, but this time, there are plates of [[Pokémon food]] located on rocks where the Pokémon are required to finish a bowl of food. Once the participants have passed this section, they travel a straight road to the finish line.

In ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met [[Lara Laramie]], who told them about the race. Lara was going to enter, but she was forced to pull out after she broke her arm while trying to wrangle some {{p|Tauros}}. Seeing potential in Ash, she had him replace her in the race. Rival competitor [[Dario]] teamed up with {{TRT}} to sabotage the other competitors chances. However Ash narrowly won over Dario, with a close finish, after Lara's {{p|Ponyta}} [[Evolution|evolved]] mid-race into {{p|Rapidash}}.
