Running of the bulls in Richmond

The running of the bulls through the streets of downtown Richmond? Well, not exactly. According to Richmond.com:

On August 24, 2013, you’ll have the chance to run with the bulls at Virginia Motorsports Park in North Dinwiddie.

The Great Bull Run is coming to town with multiple chances to run with the bulls throughout the day, followed by a Tomato Royale – a large tomato food fight open to the public.

No joke!

The Great Bull Run is a brand new U.S. version of running with the bulls that kicks off a 9-city-tour this summer – right here in Richmond.

Well, ooo-kay. So if you are at least 18 years old with a valid government ID, have the $50-120 entry fee, and are feeling lucky about running alongside 1,000-pound bulls, this is your opportunity. You've got to admit ... Richmond is a lot closer than Spain. Maybe I'll see you there. I'll be the one on the sidelines with the camera....
