Running with the Bulls is this weekend, July 12th in New Orleans and the Northshore Roller Derby Team, The Lethal Ladies, will be there representing the Northshore. If you have never been to this event you are in for an incredible treat! Hundreds of roller derby girls from all over the country roll in for this special event and thousands of people register to participate in the run.
The roller derby girls (the Bulls) will decorate their helmets with horns and runners will usually wear a white cloth with a red sash. The object of the game for the runners is to get through the route without getting spanked on the butt by a Bull. The object for the Bull is to spank as many runners as they can with their plastic bat.
The runners begin at the starting line and the Bulls are posted throughout the route. Once the runners approach, the Bulls are released and chase the runners toward the gauntlet. The gauntlet is lined on each side with the Bulls with bats in tow. The runners try to dodge the swings of the Bulls as they race through to the finish line. Some runners like to taunt the Bulls but this is a sure-fire recipe for a good spanking!
All is well at the end of the race where the Bulls and Runners come together to drink Sangria and party New Orleans style. Whether you are running through the streets or watching from the sidelines, this event will surely be a good time!
