The Great Bull Run coming to the U.S.

The Great Bull Run is coming to Petersburg, VA later this month, and more bull runs in other U.S. cities have been scheduled well into 2014.

What is the appeal? For some, it may be cultural or traditional, I suppose. For others? “You can go running down the street any time you want, but to run with bulls — that’s something that doesn’t come along very often,” said Rob Dickens, co-founder and chief operating officer of The Great Bull Run, to the Associated Press. I can also go swimming when I want, but it’s not everyday I can swim alongside a shark, but I’d pass on that. And I’ll pass on this Great Bull Run.
