Preparations Underway for Idaho Falls Patriot Bull Run
Published at | Updated at
IDAHO FALLS – Preparations are underway for the first ever Patriot Bull Run at Sandy Downs.
Hundreds of participants and spectators are expected to attend the Independence Day event.
“We’ll have 18 raging bulls and it’s going to be a blast,” co-organizer Dax Tomlinson said. “There’s gonna be some nooks runners that can jump in or get out on the track. You can make it as dangerous as you want.”
Anyone 18 or over can run with the bulls.
After the race, 10 thousand pounds of tomatoes will be brought in for a massive tomato fight. Anyone over 14 years old is welcome to participate.
“If you don’t want to run you can just come watch,” Tomlinson said. “If you just wanna do the tomato fight or do the bull run or do everything, you can get the whole experience.”
Part of the proceeds from the race go toward the Marsoc Foundation and if this year’s bull run is a success, there will be more down the road.
“We really wanted to bring something new to the area,” Tomlinson said. “It will be a really good event and we’re excited about it.”
