Running with the Bulls – Event & Ticket Information

Since 2003, the Strathmore Stampede has been home to Running with the Bulls, Canada's original and most thrilling version of the event.

Each day, up to 70 participants will face three rounds of wild, untamed bulls inside a fenced track. Runners aim to be the most daring, entertaining, and crowd-pleasing. A panel of judges, along with input from Strathmore Stampede fans, will select the winner.
