KIDS’ BULL RUN JUNE 23RD, 10:30AM

Twenty two years ago when Bull Run Founder Michael McDonnell decided to get silly with his friends, he probably never imaged that two decades later he’d be bringing his own children to run from the bull in a family-friendly version. Yet here we are, the Running of the Bull an annual and beloved Dewey Beach tradition, and the kids’ version is now a staple for summer fun on the beach, too!

McDonnell notes that the 7-year anniversary of the kids’ run is milestone for him in many ways, and encourages participation in this unique event. He says, “Everyone with kids should absolutely go to this. It’s amazing! So much fun for the family! Now, this is the first year in almost a decade my family isn’t at the beach that weekend, so I’m sleeping late and missing it, but everyone ELSE with kids should absolutely go to this!”

Kids and their families will gather at the Dagsworthy Street beach at 10:30AM for a good, old-fashioned beach dance party complete with games, music, and free t-shirts, lead by Kelly Ranieri. Ranieri gets the crowd of kiddos warmed up and excited for the Starboard Bull who will make his highly anticipated appearance over the dune to chase that pack of wild children!

Ranieri loves organizing the event, and says, “It is so much fun and has become a family tradition for MANY! I love to see the families return year after year! It never gets old!”

Happy screams and hilarious running from toddlers and young children hopped up on juice boxes is the name of the game. Everyone loves the chase, and parents are assured great photo opportunities with the Bull. It’s the perfect way to kick off what is sure to be a crazy fun day in Dewey Beach.

So bring the whole family and enjoy a unique twist on the Starboard’s Running of the Bull, for KIDS, only on the Dagsworthy Street beach in Dewey Beach, Saturday, June 23rd at 10:30AM.
