Queen Anne-ers were out in full force dressed in red and white for The Comstock Commission‘s Second Annual Running of the Bulls on Saturday, July 9. Reader and runner Chelsea Nesvig snapped a bunch of photos of the run as it made its way from Paragon on Queen Anne Avenue, to Kerry Park on Highland.

Check out the rest of the photos of Running of the Bulls festivities in Chelsea’s Flickr album.

Queen Anne Running of the Bulls set for July 9

June 29th, 2011 by Thea

The Comstock Commission – a self-proclaimed “division of the Queen Anne mafia” – is up to more of its shenanigans this summer, putting on the Second Annual Queen Anne Running of the Bulls on Saturday, July 9.

The QA ROTB is taking place on the same weekend as the Pamplona Running of the Bulls, and on the same day as the Queen Anne Fun Run for the Queen Anne Helpline (though this even starts at 8 a.m., so enthusiastic runners will be able to make both).

For those of you who caught the Running of the Bulls here in Queen Anne last year (I was unfortunately out of town that weekend and missed it), you probably noticed Queen Anne-ers running about in the event’s uniform: white shirts and pants, a red scarf and “fast shoes”. If, like me, you missed the event last year,  you can check out pictures from the first QA ROTB in the Flickr album.

If you’d like to participate in the Queen Anne Running of the Bulls this year, suit up in your red and white uniform and meet at Paragon Bar & Grill at 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 9, or swing by and watch the festivities unfold. Either way it should be a festival and fun event.
