For those who have always wanted to participate in the run with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, but haven't had an opportunity to take the trip, now in your chance to run with the bulls in America, as two Americans have arranged to have bull runs in 10 cities around the United States, according to NBC News.

It's a popular idea that has already seen 20,000 people sign up, paying a $35 fee. Participants will run in front of a group of angry bulls that can run at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour.

The running of the bulls has been an event in Pamplona for centuries. It's an annual event that often results in some deaths as participants get gored by the bull's horns. Since 1924, there have been at least 15 deaths during the event.

The U.S. promoters are Brad Scudder and Rob Dickins.

"It's that thrill, the adrenaline rush that you get from putting yourself in mortal danger and then coming out the other side victorious and unscathed," Dickens said in an interview on the "Today" show.

Scudder and Dickins have tried to match the experience to that described in the novel "The Sun Also Rises" by Ernest Hemingway, which features the running of the bulls in Spain.

"It's the real deal, and that's why I think it's getting people excited and that's why we're getting so much national attention," Scudder said.

The bulls participating in the U.S. Bull Run will come from the professional rodeo circuit. They won't be herded into a bullfighting ring as they are in Spain, either. After the event, they will be returned to the professional rodeo.

Organizers have included safety precautions that they hope makes the Bull Run safer than the one in Spain, where the bulls just run down the street, buildings on either side of them.

The first event will occur in Virginia at the end of August. The course will have cutouts to allow slow runners to escape the bulls.

Some people find the event barbaric, and the Humane Society agrees with them and opposes the event.

The U.S.D.A. told NBC that it is "carefully examining this issue."
