3  The Running of the Bulls takes place in Pamplona, Spain. This event started in the 14 th 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.  bullfighting;noun;torero hellotravel.com

4 You saw that right!!!! Historians can trace the event to as far as back as 1385, when bullfighting began. 123rf.com

5 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. Stockphoto.com

6 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. mccullagh.org

7 Since the event started in the 1930’s, 16 people have died!!!!!!!!!!! Funeralprogram-site.com

8 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. Wesleyprints.com

9 For the tech-savvy mozo, the city of Pamplona has released an iphone app that gives you tips and advice about the run. Coolspotters.com

10 The course is only 875 yards long. But a really good runner may just cover a few yards before getting tired out. Shutterstock.com

11 What you expect to take a few weeks, only takes about 7 days. But, the running of the bulls takes a day and then the bullfighting takes place the following day in a stadium-packed arena. Shutterstock.com

12 A very similar event takes place very close to home………well if you live in Nevada. The town is called Mesquite and holds the event in the summer. Ernest Hemingway made the event famous worldwide!!!!!!!! En.wikipedia.org

13 Many animal rights groups oppose the running of the bulls event including the most famous, PETA. The town of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico cancelled the event because of so many protests www.internetsahmigbel.com
