Running of the Bulls September 24, 2006

Now in its fourth year, The Running of the Bulls welcomes everyone to a morning of fun-filled athletics for the whole family. The Running of the Bulls 5k Run & Walk and the Running of the Calves Kids' Fun Run are humanely inspired by the annual bull-running in Pamplona, Spain. Here in Palo Alto, our Bulls and Cows are Olympic athletes in costume! Our Olympic Bulls and Cows have a delayed start and run in timed intervals, so, whether you run or walk, you’re bound to rub hooves with one along the way. Beat one to the finish line, and you’ll win the prize associated with that Bull! Mingle with them and graze on delicious treats from our sponsors after the race.

The Running of the Bulls is simply an event like no other, showcasing some of the world’s fastest athletes and bringing them together with the local community for an event that encourages athletics in children and challenges even the strongest non-professional athlete. We’ve made it our mission to nurture and inspire healthy, active lifestyles in people of all ages, and to enrich the fabric of our community. Balance Bar has honored our mission with a generous grant, ensuring that this year’s race will be the best yet!

The Bulls 5k event is a fundraiser for Palo Alto Schools through Partners in Education and an official training event for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training. If your company would like to partner with the Bulls 5k to benefit schools by matching our total registration donations, please contact us. This year’s registration is limited to 2500, so register now!
