The New Orleans “Running of the Bulls” is short : the route is about 1.2 miles , and people describe the actual run itself as roughly 20–30 minutes , with the event running in the morning and activities continuing later.

Quick Scoop

• The course is a little over a mile, about 1.2 miles.

• The run itself is usually about 20 to 30 minutes for most participants.

• In some descriptions, the run starts around 8 a.m. and lasts until about noon , but that includes the broader event and party atmosphere, not just the running portion.

What that means

If you mean the part where people are actually moving through the route, it’s not long at all.

If you mean the full morning event, it can stretch for several hours because there are pre-run festivities and follow-up events.

Bottom line

For the run itself , think around half an hour or less.
