Two men were injured in the leg by a bull’s horn, Pamplona hospital spokeswoman Estrella Petrina said. A total of seven people needed to be treated in hospital after the running of the bulls on Saturday. Thousands of runners, most wearing the traditional white shirt and trousers with a red sash and headscarf, raced to avoid the charging animals. Many ended up piled on top of each other on the narrow cobbled streets along the route. Made famous to the English-speaking world through Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises, Pamplona’s wildly popular festival attracts tens of thousands of visitors from around the world.

AP Eight people were killed in 2019, the last festival before a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sixteen people have died in Pamplona’s bullfights since 1910, with the last fatality in 2009. Saturday’s bull run was the third of eight scheduled this year. The first two days there were no surprises. The collective adrenaline rush of the bullring is followed by general hedonism with people drinking, eating, watching concerts and partying late into the night. The six bulls that run each morning are killed in bullfights by professional bullfighters later in the day.
