Pensacola's Running of the Bulls 2012~

Running of the Bulls ~ Pensacola, FL 2012
Pensacola Roller Gurlz & Seville Quarter teamed up to host downtown Pensacola event.

I love finding new, exciting things happening around Pensacola. Recently, I discovered the Pensacola Roller Gurlz.  This all female roller derby team is based out of Pensacola and plays in bouts all over the Gulf Coast.

Celebration outside of Seville Quarter for Running of the Bulls

Saturday, July 21, 2012, the Pensacola Roller Gurlz hosted their annual Running of the Bulls event at Seville Quarter in Downtown Pensacola (130 E Government St., Pensacola, FL). The event took place at 9 am.

Over 100 roller derby players from the Gulf Coast Roller Derby Collective participated.  Dressed in red and black and armed with their skates and whiffle bats, roller derby girls chased participants down Government Street.
It was reported that approximately 500 Pensacola residents came out to support local female Roller Derby Teams.

This event is modeled after the New Orleans' Bull Run. While this is only the second bull run hosted in Pensacola, some of the Pensacola Roller Gurlz also participate in New Orleans event. The New Orleans event is much larger with around 5,000 participants. The Gulf Coast Roller Derby Collective hopes to grow Pensacola's event in the years to follow.

Here are some of our favorite photos from the 2012 Pensacola Running of the Bulls.
