Event Overview
The 15th Annual Running of the Bulls Pensacola is a themed event held in Downtown Pensacola, Florida. Inspired by the Festival of San Fermín in Spain, this event features roller derby skaters from West Florida Roller Derby and other guest organizations acting as the "bulls." These skaters wear horns and use plastic bats to provide playful taps to participants as they navigate the course.
The event follows a 2 km route through the city streets. Participants are encouraged to wear all-white clothing to contrast with the "bulls" during the chase. The event serves as a fundraiser to benefit West Florida Roller Derby.
