Usage Note

Corrida — short for corrida de toros — is the traditional Spanish bullfight. As a standalone noun it almost always refers to the spectacle; the verb correr gives it its name. In Latin America corrida can also mean a sprint or dash in informal speech, so context matters. The plural is corridas.

"Asistieron a una corrida en la plaza de toros."
