The running of the bulls in 2027
There are eight bull runs, one every morning from July 7 to 14, starting at 8:00. Each run covers about 850 metres from Cuesta de Santo Domingo to the bullring and usually lasts between two and four minutes. Everything about the runs, the route and how to watch them is in our guide to the Running of the Bulls 2027.
Are the dates always the same?
Yes. San Fermín runs from July 6 to 14 every year, whatever the day of the week, around the feast of San Fermín on July 7. Only the weekdays change: in 2027 the festival starts on a Tuesday, so most of it falls on weekdays and the weekend of July 10–11 will be the most crowded.
