Krusher's post got me wondering if any of our community has done this. I've always wanted to, but I know its a few shades of NUTS.. anyone with stories or pix?

No, but my buddy did. His worst fears were confirmed when he tried to veer off the street, and the crowd wouldn't let him out. He eventually ran over a few angry Spaniards to dodge down a side street and out of trouble.

My cousin lives in Zaragoza and I was over there for her marriage just two weeks ago. Pamplona is where her husbands family lives and is only an hour or so away.

Both her and her sister have done the run with no problems, and I've agreed to run it too next year.

Note that I agreed while under the influence, at a Spanish stag party while playing drinking games with the lads from the Spanish side of the family, at 5 am in some back street bar.

Still going to do it though. :)
