(The Blaze/AP) It's not the streets of Pamplona, but a few hundred people got a similar thrill by running from bulls in the Arizona desert.

Nearly two dozen bulls chased more than 200 people in the first of several runs Saturday on a quarter-mile, fenced track in the small town of Cave Creek. Several runners filmed the experience and have posted video from the run on Youtube:

Based on the annual running of the bulls in Spain, the weekend-long event drew dozens of spectators and hundreds of runners - some who paid to do all the runs.

Similar to Spain, numerous runners showed up dressed in red and white.

Organizers say the Cave Creek version is safer because the bulls are rodeo animals. However, participants had to sign a lengthy liability waiver and medical form.
