The idea for the event came to Rob Dickens and his business partner as they were looking for ways to expand their 20-employee Boston business beyond its\u00a0Rugged Maniac<\/a>\u00a0obstacle course, a five-kilometer run-slide-climb-slip-stumble-swim trek that has expanded to 20 markets nationwide.<\/p>\n

We wanted to do something unique that nobody else was doing<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since records began in 1924, 13 people have been killed during Pamplona’s bull run. Many of those who run are full of bravado (and\/or drink), and have little idea of what they’re doing.<\/p>\n

The Running of the Bulls<\/h3>\n

El Encierro,\u00a0the running of the bulls from their corrals to the bullring for the afternoon bullfight, takes place in Pamplona, every morning during Sanfermines. Six bulls are let loose from the Coralillos de Santo Domingo to charge across the square of the same name (a good vantage point).<\/p>\n

Every year, the Festival of San Fermin, including the “Running of the Bulls”, attracts thousands of visitors to Pamplona, Spain. Lasting nine days, the festival kicks off with massive crowds at the Chupinazo in Pamplona town square, followed by a carnival, fireworks, the running of the bulls, and many bullfights. Held since 1591, San Fermin remains a popular, if also dangerous and controversial, event — dozens of people were injured this year.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A third rocket goes off when all the bulls have made it to the ring, and a final one when they have been rounded up in the stalls.<\/li>\n
  2. They can become isolated from the herd and are then always dangerous.<\/li>\n
  3. A very treacherous stretch comes towards the end, where Calle de la Estafeta slopes down into the final turn to Plaza de Toros.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The 2006 event passed without serious injury to any of the runners, but with even greater demands on the authorities, including 145 fire alarm call outs and four stray cats collected; no stray bulls reported.
