1. Go to where the race starts.
Go to the starting line of the "The Heroes' Pursuits: Fyresdal" race, talk to the race master and let him know when you're ready to race. You and two other participants will take part in the race.
2. Ride as fast as you can and win!
The route of the race is quite long. You'll race through the Palisade signpost and all the way to the Fyresdal village. A storm will start soon after the start of the race, but it shouldn't make it any more difficult for you.
Once you win the race, you'll get 50 crowns, 25 XP, and the Cavalry saddle (60 stamina).
Skelligers make fine riders, but Geralt is no spring chicken himself when it comes to horse racing. Thanks to his well-honed skills, Roach's effort and the goddess' favor, the witcher triumphed.
