The running of the bulls - now an American tradition!?

The Running of the Bulls

We have properly all seen the famous "Running of the Bulls" practice on tv or other places. This tradition involves running in front of a large group af angry wild bulls that have been let loose on a course  of a sectioned-off subset of a town's streets. The most famous Running of the Bulls is the seven-day festival of Sanfermines in honour of Saint Fermin in Pamplona. Ofcourse these "Bull Runs" also take place in other Hispanic countries such as Mexico, Peru and even in southern France.

If you live in America and you've always wanted to participate in this tradition? Then worry no longer because two intrepid lawyers have imported the "Running of the Bulls" practice to the USA. Trust me when I say that you will not be lacking any danger or goring! 

The two lawyers are Rob Dickens and Brad Scudder who love "Running of the Bulls" so much that they had teamed up  so that everyone can be gored if they so desire. 

The Great Bull Run or Running of the Bulls version 2, began on August 24th at a drag-racing strip south of Richmond, Virginia. The event has been doing some travelling since then, with scheduled appearances in Georgia, Florida, Texas, California, Minnesota, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. So when ever the bulls are crossing through your state: Better get your joggers on!

To make the event more safe for people, Dickens and Scudder have done away with the narrow streets of Spain, and replaced it with fences that have notches as “exit zones” for those who are participating. 

They’re also using a tamer breed of bulls, which should be great when the bull tamely corners you in a getaway zone and doesn’t stab you to death with its horns. So yeah you could also that the "American version" is less health risking than the Bull Runs in Spain.

What do you think on Rob's and Brad's idea? Would you ever consinder participating in a Great Bull Run? Please leave an answer in the comment section.
