The English town of Stamford, Lincolnshire was host to the Stamford Bull Run for almost 700 years until it was abandoned in 1837. According to local tradition, the custom dated from the time of King John when William de Warenne, 5th Earl of Surrey, saw two bulls fighting in the meadow beneath.
In reality, only six bulls run the course each day. The bulls are chased -- or motivated -- along the course by oxen with bells on their necks. Eight of the oxen are released at the same time as the bulls and two of which are released afterwards to run any straggling bulls along. Sprint, Not a Marathon. The Running of the Bulls course is just 825 meters (a little over 900 yards) long. Runners gather in the same square, outside of the Plaza del Castillo bullring each morning from July 7 to July 14 at 7:55 am.
