Running of the Bulls Outfit: What to Wear in Pamplona

By Dennis Clancey, bull runner in Pamplona since 2007. Last updated November 9, 2026 (update log).

People call it many things: the running of the bulls outfit, attire or uniform, the running with the bulls outfit or clothes, the bull run outfit, the San Fermín festival outfit, the Sanfermines outfit or San Fermín clothes. In Pamplona it is the same four pieces. This guide covers what to wear to the running of the bulls: at the Pamplona bull run itself, the running with the bulls clothing for the morning of the encierro, at the chupinazo and around the fiesta, why, and where to buy it.

Running of the Bulls Clothing: What to Wear at the Run, the Chupinazo and the Fiesta

The traditional San Fermín outfit is the same for men and women, and it changes with the moment. A runner on the morning of the encierro carries less than a fiesta-goer at noon, and nobody wears good clothes to the chupinazo. Scroll through the five looks.

1. The runner

   White shirt with the sleeves rolled, white pants, the pañuelo in a slipknot, running shoes double knotted, a rolled newspaper. A faja is optional on the run, and nothing hangs or dangles.

   

2. The runner, women

   Pants or shorts, never a skirt. Hair tied back so nothing falls in your face. Hands empty.

   

3. The chupinazo

   Clothes you will throw away. Shoes tied tighter than ever. He lost one anyway, like many people in the plaza every July 6.

   

4. The fiesta

   Whites, a black txapela, the faja knotted on the left and a leather bota of wine slung across the body.

   

5. The fiesta, women

   Whites, alpargatas tied with red ribbons, and a sweatshirt at the waist for the cool nights.

   

The Running of the Bulls Outfit, Piece by Piece

This is the running of the bulls traditional outfit, the traditional San Fermín clothes, one piece at a time, and why each one is there.

White shirt (camisa blanca)

A button-down, a plain white T-shirt or any white undershirt. By the end of the first day it will carry wine and street dust, so wear something you can ruin. "Fiesta isn't overly formal," Dennis Clancey says. "If you want to present well, just don't have wine on your shirt, which can be a challenge with chistorra and all the things we eat and drink." For after the run, our running of the bulls shirts carry the date, the ranch and the name of every bull of each morning since 2000.

White pants (pantalón blanco)

Light, loose and white. The shops along the route sell them for about 10 to 12 euros.

Dennis runs in one kind, bought in town every fiesta since 2008: white Wakonda trousers, 100 percent cotton, made in Spain, with an elastic drawstring waist, two outside patch pockets and a small black WAKONDA label just below the left pocket.¹ "They're very light, airy," he says. "You get them along the run route." He buys the pairs with the black label. Their one weakness is that there are no zipped pockets, so he carries what he needs in the breast pocket of his shirt and ties his apartment keys into the drawstring with a double knot. Joe Distler, who began running in Pamplona around 1970, wears them too.²

The navy and yellow WAKONDA shield in shop photos is a cardboard hang tag. It comes off before you wear them.

Knees: pants, and pads under them

Shorts are allowed, but Dennis runs in long pants. "I like having fabric over my knees. If you fall, it stops you from scraping your knees." He goes a step further: thin padded knee sleeves under his pants, invisible from outside. "Very often that's the type of injury I'll get: a contusion to my knee, and it can be uncomfortable."

Red pañuelo (running of the bulls scarf or bandana)

It is the red scarf you see all over Pamplona. Visitors call it the running of the bulls red scarf, the San Fermín red scarf or the San Fermín bandana. It is a red neckerchief, plain or embroidered with the arms of Pamplona or Navarra, a peña's crest or the wearer's name. Children's pañuelos usually carry their name. In July 2026 they cost about 3.50 to 5 euros in the shops on the route. Dennis likes to hand them out when people arrive: "I think it's good luck if you get your pañuelo from someone else." How to wear it is below.

Red faja (running of the bulls sash)

The running of the bulls red sash is a red sash about 2.5 meters (8 feet) long and 12 centimeters (5 inches) wide, wrapped around the waist. About 5 to 6 euros. On the run it is optional; many runners who wear one tie it so a single pull undoes it, so it cannot hold them if a horn catches it. See the faja.

Blusón

The loose smock of the peñas, worn open over the whites or tied around the waist. Why people wear it: Pamplona's days are hot and its nights are cool. "It's really to meet the changes in temperature from day to night if you're out at all hours," Dennis says. "You can tie it around your waist or throw it on. It can chill down if it rains." Each peña has its own; most visitors never wear one.

Alpargatas

Canvas espadrilles with rope soles, tied with ribbons crossed up the ankle: red for most people, green for La Única.¹² Why people wore them: the alpargata was cheap working footwear, a cloth upper on a sole of braided esparto, hemp or jute, plants that grow in Spain. It was the shoe of urban workers and soldiers, and it was worn across Aragón, La Rioja, Navarra and the Basque Country; its biggest center of manufacture was Mauléon, just over the Pyrenees.²⁵ Light and cheap, it lived on as the summer shoe of the fiesta. It belongs to the fiesta, not the run: a rope sole has little grip on wet stone. In 2026 a Pamplona shoe shop on Calle Mañueta reported that handmade alpargatas led its sales, worn above all on July 7.¹³

Txapela

The Basque beret, black by tradition, and the one traditional running of the bulls hat (though never on the run itself). Why people wore it: a txapela is all wool, knitted and then felted, so it is warm, absorbent and sheds rain. Farmers, shepherds, fishermen and woodcutters wore it outdoors in all weather, and it spread across the Basque Country and Navarra in the 18th and 19th centuries. Spain's first beret factory opened in Azkoitia in 1847, and Elósegui's in Tolosa in 1859.²⁶ Today musicians, older men and anyone who likes the look wear it at the fiesta. Never on the run.

Bota

The leather wine skin. Why people carry it: a bota holds wine you can take anywhere and drink on the move, without a glass. The traditional bota is goat skin sewn by hand, lined inside with pitch, with a mouthpiece of turned horn.²⁷ At the fiesta it rides slung on a single cord across the body so it hangs in front. "You can carry booze with you throughout the city," Dennis says, "and wine slung around you is sometimes an easy way to do that." Pamplona's best-known bota maker was Las Tres ZZZ on Calle Comedias, founded in 1873 and named for the owner's triplet daughters, born in 1916. Hemingway wrote about Pamplona's botas, and Jake Barnes buys two in The Sun Also Rises.¹⁴ Never on the run: the rules ban bottles and anything in your hands.

Sweatshirt (sudadera)

Mornings are cool; see the weather. "That's why sometimes you see people early morning with sweatshirts tied around their waists," Dennis says. The shops in town sell them.

What the Encierro Ordinance Bans on the Run

Pamplona's Encierro Ordinance does not require white or red. It sets out what gets a runner pulled off the route and fined.³

Fines run up to 600 euros for minor offenses and from 601 to 6,000 euros for serious ones.⁴ During San Fermín 2026 the Policía Municipal confiscated 54 pairs of camera glasses, after a tourist filmed the second run with smart glasses and posted it online.⁵ The city's final count for the encierro was five fines: two for touching or calling the bulls, one for recording on the route, one for standing at the fence or in a doorway and one for leaving a doorway open.⁶ More on that year on our San Fermín 2026 page.

"The fastest way to get people to put their phones away is to grab one person and pull them off the run route." Dennis Clancey

Keep the phone away in the minutes before the rocket. "People that are trying to film their own run are seen as a hindrance to the natural flow of the run," Dennis says, "because you're making decisions more around trying to get the shot." Our guide to how to run with the bulls covers the rest of the morning.

What Shoes to Wear to Run with the Bulls

"Something comfortable, something you can run in," Dennis says. "Make sure they're tied tight. Some wear sneakers, some running shoes, some minimalist shoes. It's really having something you feel comfortable and nimble in." Closed toes, always: feet get stepped on, and the streets are filthy.

How to Tie the Pañuelo for the Run

Runners tie the pañuelo in a slipknot, the knot Pamplona calls the nudo de mago, the magician's knot. If a horn or a hand catches it, the pañuelo slides off and you keep running.⁷ Scroll through the five steps.

Illustrations: Encierro.com

1. Take the two ends of the pañuelo

   Las dos puntas del pañuelo.

2. Tie a loose overhand knot in the left end only

   Haz un nudo simple flojo solo con la punta izquierda.

3. Bring the right end over the top and straight through the loop

   Pasa la punta derecha por encima y a través del nudo.

4. Cinch the knot down onto the right end, snug but not tight

   Cierra el nudo sobre la otra punta, sin apretar del todo.

5. Grabbed or hooked, the right end slides out and the pañuelo lets go

   Si tiran o se engancha, la punta se suelta y el pañuelo cae.

On July 7, 2012, the first run of that year, a bull caught a runner by his pañuelo and dragged him several meters.⁷ Dennis was there that morning:

"Before the first run in 2012, I was showing a number of first-time runners how to tie their pañuelos in a slip knot. One of them remarked that if a bull's horn got that close, they're probably in big trouble anyhow. That same day, a runner was dragged by his pañuelo at the end of Telefónica going into the callejón for a number of meters. You don't want to be that person. You want that pañuelo that cost three euros to just fall off if pulled." Dennis Clancey

Horns are not the only risk. A runner who falls grabs whatever is in front of him. Dennis lost his first pañuelo, a gift from Yolanda Barcina, then mayor of Pamplona,⁸ when a falling runner behind him in Mercaderes reached out and pulled it off. "My adrenaline was so strong that I didn't even realize it," he says. Tied fast, it would have pulled him down too.

When the pañuelo goes on, and when it comes off

Not when you arrive in town. You carry it until the chupinazo, the rocket that opens San Fermín at noon on July 6, and tie it on when the rocket goes off. It comes off at the Pobre de Mí, the closing song at midnight on July 14.

Some people keep their pañuelo for life; Dennis always has. Others leave it in town. On the night of the 14th the city puts temporary fencing outside the Capilla de San Fermín, the saint's chapel in the Iglesia de San Lorenzo, and after the Pobre de Mí, Dennis has seen people walk there, tie their pañuelos to it and leave candles burning below.

How to Wear the Faja, and Do You Need One to Run?

By Pamplona custom the faja is knotted on the left, at belt height, over the pants.⁹ No rule requires it, but a faja tied on the right marks you as a visitor. Many young women and children thread it through the belt loops instead, and purists skip the knot and tuck the last turn in.

On the run the faja is optional. "When the faja is in a slip knot, it often ends up on the street of the route," Dennis says. If you wear one, don't knot it: "It's a coarse fabric, so you can really just loop one end on the other end like three or four times and cinch it down, and that's enough to hold it." Pulled, it comes away. "You definitely have people that have been lifted by their pañuelo, dragged by their pañuelo, dragged by their faja, lifted and flipped by their faja."

What to Wear to the Chupinazo

If you will be down in the Plaza Consistorial when the rocket goes off, not on a balcony, dress to lose it all.

• Clothes you can throw away. "You get the 10-euro pants along the run route, and maybe bring a cheap undershirt. If that stuff's covered in wine, just throw it out and put on fresh clothes after."
• Shoes tied tighter than ever. "Imagine being in a crush of people, and someone steps on your heel. It pulls your shoe off. You cannot bend over and will not bend over." Dennis lost one there himself. When the square clears, "you find people walking around with two different shoes, just drenched in sangria."
• Closed toes. Never sandals in that crowd.
• Arrive by 10:30.
• The pañuelo in your hand until the rocket.

"You want to get drenched," Dennis says. "It's part of the alegría of being in the middle of the chupinazo." Watching from a balcony in good whites? For four or five hours after the rocket, people keep throwing wine, cava, water and sometimes eggs from the balconies of the Casco Viejo. Walk carefully.

The Running of the Bulls Outfit for Women

The San Fermín outfit for women is the same as the San Fermín outfit for men: the same whites, pañuelo and faja. For the run: "You're not going to wear skirts," Dennis says. "Pants or shorts, whatever you feel comfortable and nimble in. Tie your hair back. You don't want anything in your face." Heels are hard on Pamplona's stones at any hour, and the ordinance bans them on the route. For the fiesta, a sweatshirt or blusón at the waist and alpargatas or sneakers.

Pamplona Weather in July: Pack a Layer

Pamplona sits at about 450 meters (1,480 feet) in a basin below the Pyrenees, and it is cooler than most of Spain in July. Over the last ten fiestas (July 6 to 14, 2017 to 2026), days averaged 27.3 °C (81 °F) and nights 14.9 °C (59 °F). It rained on about one fiesta day in five.¹⁰

Nights fell to about 10 °C (50 °F) in 2020, 2021, 2024 and 2025. Heat waves happen too: on July 7, 2026, Pamplona's airport weather station recorded 41.4 °C (106.5 °F), the hottest San Fermín day on record.¹¹ The model figures above smooth out peaks like that one. So: whites that breathe for the afternoon, and a sweatshirt or blusón for the 8 a.m. run and the nights.

Phones, Keys and Money: Carry Almost Nothing

"Pickpockets come to Pamplona," Dennis says. "It's tight crowds, people always looking to lift things."

• On the run: as little as possible, and everything secured. "If you were jostled or thrown, you'd still have your stuff on you." Keys tied into a drawstring with a double knot. If you bring a phone, keep it put away.
• At the fiesta: front pockets, not back pockets. Never leave your phone or wallet on a bar table. A money belt under the waistband for spare cash and cards. Go easy on jewelry.

Getting wine out of whites

Mostly, you don't. Once whites are soaked at the chupinazo, most people throw them away and buy another 10-euro pair. Laundry services are limited during the fiesta; if you have an apartment you may have a machine, or your hotel can take care of it. Bring two sets of whites, or plan to buy a second in town.

Why Do People Wear White and Red at San Fermín?

Why do they wear white and red in Pamplona, and why white and red at the running of the bulls? Not because it was always so. Before the 1930s the young men of Pamplona dressed as they liked at San Fermín: blue or black berets or straw hats, blue shirts and pants, and pañuelos, blusas, fajas and alpargatas in every color.¹⁶ In the 1910s and 1920s the city pushed back against costumes. The mayor's fiesta proclamations of 1917 and 1918 banned walking the streets dressed in "an extravagant, carnival-like way," and in 1922 masks and costumes were banned during the fiesta.¹⁷ By 1930 newspapers complained of "shirts of every color" and called the fiesta a carnival, and that year's proclamation banned clothing that gave "the look of a costume."¹⁶

A group of young men called La Veleta answered. Photos published in July 1930 show its members in white with a red pañuelo and faja. White itself was not new: dancers, musicians and pelota players already wore it. What was new was every member dressed the same. Gau Txori and La Jarana followed within two years,¹⁸ and the outfit became the whole city's from about the 1960s.¹⁹ The City of Pamplona says the origin of the outfit is unknown, and credits Peña La Veleta, a club that no longer exists, with making it popular in the 1930s by dressing its members in white and red to stand out from the other peñas.²³

Why white?

White is simple and cheap, and it makes everyone look the same. "It's a simple color that everyone can be equal in," Dennis says, "and fiesta is a time when everyone comes together from the town." It still matters to Pamplona: "We need to be very clear on this. You wear white, you wear the red pañuelo, the red faja. White is respect."

Why red?

Red is the color of Navarra. The flag of Navarra is red, with the gold chains of its coat of arms,²⁸ and San Fermín is the co-patron saint of Navarra, alongside San Francisco Javier, by papal decree since 1657.²⁹ A fiesta for Navarra's saint in Navarra's color: "It's natural that the color of the fiesta would be one that marries both," Dennis says. In the city you will also hear that the red honors the blood of San Fermín, the bishop of Pamplona who died a martyr.¹⁹ "For me, it's more simple." Two other stories are legends, not history: that the white stands for the saint's faith, and that butchers who drove the bulls wore white aprons stained red.

Does red make the bulls angry?

No. That is a myth. The colors do not matter to the bulls, which are red-green color blind. They are not drawn to red or angered by it: cattle cannot tell red from green, and what a bull goes for is movement. Our page on how a bull sees explains what a bull does and does not see on the route.

What the Peñas Wear: Pamplona's 16 Peñas and Their Colors

The peñas are Pamplona's fiesta clubs, each with its own band, crest and dress. Thirteen wear red pañuelos. La Jarana and El Txarko wear blue, for the blue of Pamplona's coat of arms.¹² La Única, the oldest peña in Pamplona, wears green, the color of the city's flag,²⁰ on its pañuelo, faja and alpargata ribbons. Ten peñas wear a blusón; six wear only the whites. Pick a peña:

Is There an Official Running of the Bulls Outfit?

No. The city does not issue an official running of the bulls shirt or outfit, and there is no running of the bulls uniform; white and red are a tradition, not a uniform anyone hands out. If you searched for official running of the bulls merchandise, that is the honest answer.

The one official image each year is the San Fermín poster, which the city chooses in a public contest. Each year's poster belongs to the city and its artist, and you will find poster shirts in shops along the route. It makes a great poster. On a shirt it is one big rectangle. Ours is something else: a running of the bulls shirt for the morning you actually ran, with every bull's name.

Where to Buy the Running of the Bulls Outfit in Pamplona

Buy it in Pamplona. Shops all along the route sell white shirts, white pants, pañuelos and fajas, and unless you already own whites, there is no need to buy before the trip. In Dennis Clancey's experience, the cheapest whites and the best selection are near La Curva. The easiest place is La Curva, where Calle Mercaderes meets Calle Estafeta, and the length of Estafeta. "There are numerous places right along Estafeta, and really near the curve," Dennis says. In the days before the fiesta, shops put racks outside their doors, and names change from year to year. Four that Dennis sends people to:

Going rates in July 2026: pañuelos 3.50 to 5 euros, fajas 5 to 6 euros, white pants 10 to 12 euros. If you lose a shoe, the same streets sell alpargatas and sneakers. Already home? Our running of the bulls shirts ship to most countries, and our Pamplona street stones, cobblestones that once paved the Old Town, ship within the United States. Our guide to the running of the bulls dress code, the San Fermín dress code as Pamplona lives it, covers what holds up on the cobblestones.

What Dennis Clancey Wears to Run

Dennis Clancey has run in Pamplona since July 7, 2007.²¹ His kit, top to bottom: a green pañuelo, because he is a member of La Única; a black western snap shirt; white Wakonda pants; and yellow and black New Balance MT00s. No faja on the run; sometimes his La Única blusón during the fiesta.

The black shirt is the exception, and he says so. He has worn it on every run since 2007, in Pamplona and in towns across Spain and in Mexico. It has been stitched back together and carries small burn holes from the toro de fuego. In 2016 the Spanish newspaper El Mundo called him "the American in the black shirt."²¹ He still tells everyone else to wear white: "White shows respect to the city."

Running of the Bulls Costume: Parties, Halloween and New Orleans

The outfit travels. The running of the bulls in New Orleans, San Fermín in Nueva Orleans, asks its crowd to come in all white with a red sash and neckerchief, while the Big Easy Rollergirls skate the streets as the bulls; the July event has run since about 2007.²² For a running of the bulls party, a San Fermín party or a running of the bulls Halloween costume, a running with the bulls costume or a San Fermín costume takes four pieces, the same red and white party outfit as a Pamplona bull run costume: white shirt, white pants, a red pañuelo at the neck and a red faja knotted on the left hip. Add a rolled newspaper for a runner, or a txapela and a bota for the fiesta. Ran it for real? Wear the shirt from your morning, or give one to someone who did, with our gifts for someone who ran with the bulls.

A Running of the Bulls Shirt for the Morning You Ran

Each morning of San Fermín, six bulls from one ganadería (ranch) run the 848.6 meters (about 930 yards) from the corral to the bullring. Our shirts carry that morning: the date, the ranch and the name of every bull, taken from the Pamplona press of the day. They are printed to order by our print partner.
