Bull Running
Also known as “encinero,” those who engage in the running of the bulls, are individuals who are generally extremely fit. The sport is popular in Spain and Portugal and has left many people paralyzed, while others have been killed.
Running through a stampede of bulls weighing more than 1000 pounds each is quite dangerous, even for the fastest, most skilled runners in the world. It’s not just that you have to avoid the bulls either. You have to be skilled on your feet and able to maintain the fast pace as well. One wrong step and your days of running with anything, much less bulls, are over.
