Females can run with the bulls during the Fiesta de San Fermín in Pamplona, Spain. However, that was not always the case. In 1867 a law was enacted that limited the event to males. It was not until 1974 that women were allowed to participate, though none took part that year. In 1975 two females ran with the bulls.
