History/Importance
The Running of the Bulls takes place in Pamplona, Spain. This event started in the 14th century. The event first took place to take the bulls from corrals to the bullring where they would be killed in the evening. Youngsters would run in front of them to show off how brave they are. Bullfighting is a popular sport for families to watch on Sundays.

The runners’ uniforms may honor a saint…… or a butcher
That is also a fact!!!!!!! The runners are called Mozos and wear white pants and shirts, accessorized with a red bandana. The look is to honor the saint San Fermin. Others believe the look is meant to look like a butcher. You choose.

Bulls aren’t the only beasts
Typically, a few steers are also mixed in with the bulls. This helps the other animals get calmed down. That makes the event a little safer to say the least.

It’s better to be trampled
Experts say it is better to be trampled than to be gored. So, if you fall, do not get up. This has saved countless runners that got in the fetal position.
