They don´t really know when the firs Running of the Bulls took place in Pamplona, but historians say that already existed in the XVI century. The origin is the entrance of livestock used to celebrate the bullfights. At first there were not runners, but with time, it was becoming a public event in which people began to participate. Nowadays the Running of the Bulls during San Fermin Festival has become one of the most famous fiestas Worldwide.
During all these years the itinerary has changed mainly due to the needs of Pamplona´s different Bullfight Ring locations as they have change throughout history. The timetable have also suffered several changes, they started celebrating the running of the bulls at 5 am, then at 6, change at 7 and nowadays is at 8 . We must take into account the different timetable changes through out the years as 8 am today is the equivalent of 6 am in the old times. (Solar Time)
