Tips for Running

When running the basic knowledge of safety tips is vital. Please find some of the most important below.

Access:  If you want to participate in the running, you should enter the track before 7:30am through the gates in the Plaza Consistorial and stay there until the municipal barriers in the stretch between the Square and the Old Military hospital. After 7:30 the accesses are closed and you are not allowed to leave the track.
 
Most dangerous stretches:  Callejon-Plaza de Toros. (eight deaths) and the end of the Cuesta de Santo Domingo (three deaths).
 
Garments:  Use comfortable clothes and sneakers or sport shoes. Do not carry any other items (backpacks, cameras, etc.) on you.
 
Ask experts runners for advice:  The running is neither a joke nor an opportunity for media coverage.  The risks are enormous, and the mass attendance of runners makes it even more dangerous. It takes many years of practice to become a good runner.
 
Getting in and out of the flow:  Getting into the flow of runners is as important as getting out of the way. Get in gradually, as the other runners get out. Or get straight in, from a standing start.
 
Beware of falling: Bulls are not the only danger. Mainly, it's the number of runners.  The chances of stumbling and falling are very high. In fact, most of the people who are injured during the run have fallen and been trampled over by other runners. You have to look in front of you, behind you and on the ground. Once you are in the herd, it's safest to remain close to the bulls because there will be no runners in front of you. If you fall, just curl up and do not move until someone taps you on the shoulder. If you're near a bull and you fall, do not try to get up. If you curl up in a ball, the bull will evade you and continue running. Getting up will cause the bull to attack you. This is the most common mistake made by runners
