Running With The Bulls? Sorry But That’s Bull!

Bucket item list item – NOT. I was raised on a farm, I’ve done more than my fair share of dodging hooves and horns chasing cattle. How about you.  Do you long for the heart pounding thrill of a 3 minute race among dangerous fighting bulls running through the crowded streets of Pamplona, Spain? If that’s you and this is your year, better get a move on because there are just three days left in the annual Running of the Bulls.

Today’s run featured the Victoriano del Río bulls from Madrid, Spain --who've been in the last five years, generally tend to run together in a pack, and hold the record for the fastest time down the streets of Pamplona --2 minutes and 14 seconds in 2013. The bulls also tend to run together in a pack and run ahead without charging at the runners, although there have been four runners gored in the past five years.
