No one injured in Pamplona’s fastest bull run this year, except two runners who ran into each other
- A regional hospital spokesman said the seventh bull run of the San Fermin festival was ‘the calmest as far as medical issues are concerned’
- The mad dash of six bulls with hundreds of runners lasted 2 minutes and 12 seconds – making it the fastest of this year’s runs in Pamplona
The seventh bull run of this year’s San Fermin festival took place Saturday without any of the runners being gored, health authorities in the northern Spanish city of Pamplona said.
The mad dash of six bulls with hundreds of runners wearing the traditional outfit with a red sash lasted 2 minutes and 12 seconds – making it the fastest of this year’s runs.
The bulls from the La Palmosilla breeder, which made its debut at the festival, made a clean run through the parting crowds along the 850m cobblestone course to the city’s bull ring, where they will be killed in bull fights later in the day.
Regional hospital spokesman Tomás Belzunegui said that Saturday’s bull run was “the calmest as far as medical issues are concerned of this year’s festival”.
He said the most serious injuries were two people who received knocks to the head, apparently when runners tumbled over one another to avoid the charging bulls.
