    My uncle lives in Pamplona so I've a standing invite to come over and do it some year, yeah I think I'd give it a go. Know enough to train for it first though. All the locals that run the bulls train for a couple of months before hand. It's always the puffing and wheezing yanks that get themselves gored.

    Just turn up. AFAIK there's no entry requirements other than a complete disregard for your own safety!

    yeah was at it this year with a few lads who were at it last year + this year. they loved it big time. I thought it was only so-so.
    a few other mates went via different routes and with Spanish tourguides - which made their time much better.
    the partying is full on mob stylee - the majority of the event is the drinking in the streets all night - with a 2 minute event of bull running in the morning.
