Join us for the 13th Annual Running of the Bulls Pensacola to benefit West Florida Roller Derby! Saturday, July 20, 2024 at Seville Quarter 9:00 AM! After party and awards to follow.


The Running of the Bulls Pensacola is modeled after the world-famous Festival of San Fermín in Pamplona, Spain. To maintain the thrilling spirit of the Pamplona bull run without the hazard of live animals, however, our “bulls” are skaters from West Florida Roller Derby and guest skaters from leagues far and wide! The menacing derby bulls will be equipped with roller skates, horns, and plastic bats, ready to lovingly tap runners along the roughly two-mile course. After party and award ceremony to follow at Seville Quarter.

It's Michigan vs. Alabama and Washington vs. Texas for the final season of the four-team college football playoff format, before the tournament grows to a field of 12 next year.
