The Running of the Bulls (in Spanish: Encierro) is a famous event that takes place during the San Fermin Festival in Pamplona, Spain. The San Fermin Festival is held annually from July 6th to July 14th, and is a week-long celebration in honor of Saint Fermin, the patron saint of Navarra.

The festival is best known for the Running of the Bulls, which takes place every morning at 8:00 a.m. from July 7th to July 14th. During this event, six bulls are released from a corral and run through the streets of the city, with participants running in front of them. The run is approximately 850 meters and ends at the bullring, where the bulls will be used in the bullfights later in the day.

The Running of the Bulls is a dangerous event, and many people have been injured or killed over the years. Despite the dangers, it continues to be a popular event, drawing thousands of people from all over the world to Pamplona each year.
