An archaic or dialectal term referring to a race or running competition, particularly in bullfighting contexts.
From Spanish 'corrida,' meaning 'running' or 'race,' derived from Latin 'currere' (to run). The word became associated with bullfighting as 'corrida de toros' (running of bulls).
The famous Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain is technically a 'encierro' (enclosure), but the bullfight itself is a 'corrida'—and the tradition dates back to the 14th century when bulls were driven through streets to the bullring.
