Overview
- The morning run on Saturday left one runner gored in the face and 12 others treated at the University of Navarra Hospital after six bulls and steers charged through the old town.
- Photographs and reports show pileups, runners thrown into barriers and at least one injured participant carried off on a stretcher as a black bull broke from the pack and struck people.
- San Fermín is continuing its nine-day schedule that opened July 6 with daily runs on an about 875‑metre route toward the bullring and has drawn extra global attention for the 100th anniversary of Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises.
- Local emergency services including on-route medical teams and Red Cross volunteers were active during the runs and treated a mix of knocks, fractures and gore wounds that commonly occur when novices join experienced 'mozos'.
- Nearby Guillena stages a municipal, family-friendly alternative using wheeled carts that spray water to simulate bulls, a practice run by the town council since about 2017 to reduce risk while keeping the tradition.
