2nd Annual Running of the Bulls!

Attention All Thrill Seekers! Do you have what it takes to be the ultimate matador of Grand Rapids ? The Bulls are back and ready to smack! The day will begin at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 14 at Founders where drink specials and a blessing from Reverend Boyd will kick the event off. From there, participants will be released as the feisty “Bulls” from the Grand Raggidy Roller Girls, Killamazoo Derby Darlins and Flint City Derby Girls chase you through the streets of Downtown Grand Rapids as you head to the next destination (and more drink specials.) Your final destination, if you survive, will be HopCat where there will even more specials and a DJ.

A Few Survival Tips

Safety in numbers: Bring your friends. If you’re gonna go down, might as will take your friends with you, right?

Prepare for the Run: Stretch out those legs. Have pre-run warm up beer at Founders to wet you’re your appetite. Runners are encouraged to get creative and dress up. Prizes will be awarded for the best theme, best costume and more.

Run fast!!! The Grand Raggidy Roller Girls, Killamazoo Derby Darlins and Flint City Derby Girls will be playing the role of the bulls! These fierce yet lovely creatures will be on their skates, sporting horns and wielding large bats to chase participants from bar to bar.

Blend in with your Surroundings. This year, the event itself will be free, but in order to enjoy drink specials you must purchase a wristband / t-shirt package for $15. Merchandise and T-shirt/wristbands combos will be sold before the run begins. A portion of the proceeds will go to C-SNIP.

Bowling with the Broads on the Quads!

Join GRRG at Wengers Bowling Alley on Friday for some good old bowling fun!!! This is a great chance to show off your mad skills or challenge someone to a game. (We heard Bette Mangler talking up her game. Someone needs to take her down!) If bowling isn’t your bag, come by and strike up a conversation with your favorite derby girl!

For only $12 a person, you will have access to unlimited bowling, a shoe rental, delicious pizza and pop! This is an all ages event so bring your family and friends to this fun filled evening!
