Round up your friends and channel your inner matador for a pub crawl to remember. Enjoy some of your favorite downtown bars all while being pursued by derby girls disquised as bulls and supporting two very deserving charities.

For $25/person or $100 for a team of 5, you will receive an event t-shirt and a wristband that will get you drink specials all day long. A portion of the proceeds will go to C-SNIP and The Well House, two great local charities.

That’s not all! The Grand Raggidy Roller Girls will be playing the role of the bulls! These fierce yet lovely creatures will be on their skates, sporting horns and wielding large inflatable bats to chase participants from bar to bar. Runners are encouraged to get creative and dress up. Prizes are going to be awarded for the best theme, best costume and more.

Pre-register online at www.grbulls.com or register the day of at Founder’s Brewing Company at 10 a.m.

Event Details: ¡El Toro! begins at Founder’s Brewing Company at 11:00 a.m. (get there early to sign-in and get your t-shirt and wristband). You will run through the closed off streets of Grand Rapids on a pub crawl and end at HopCat at 2:00 p.m. The fun doesn’t end here… there will be live music and drink specials all day long for participants in wristbands.
