View of the Arena Session during the San Fermin festival during day 1 (7/7/2014) | The Running of the Bulls (in Spanish encierro, from the verb encerrar, to fence in, to lock/shut up, to pen)[1] is a practice that involves running in front of a small group of bulls (typically a dozen) 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 that of the eight-day festival of Sanfermin in honor of Saint Fermin in Pamplona.
