# Running of the Bulls Established

> The Encierro festival in Pamplona formalized the running of the bulls as an organized spectacle, becoming one of the world's most famous and dangerous celebrations.

## Summary

A running of the bulls is an event that involves running in front of a small group of bulls, typically six but sometimes ten or more, that have been let loose on sectioned-off streets in a town, usually as part of a summertime festival. Particular breeds of cattle may be favored, such as the toro bravo in Spain, also often used in post-run bullfighting, and Camargue cattle in Occitan France, which are not fought. Bulls are typically used in such events.
