Overview
- The eight-day festival concluded with the eighth run on Tuesday, when ten men were hurt and two were gored and taken to local hospitals.
- Navarre regional officials reported a season total of 57 injured runners, including four gorings overall and several who needed hospital treatment for fractures and bruises.
- Runners say the course, about 848–875 metres long, is completed in roughly two minutes and 25 seconds, and its tight turns and cobbled streets make falls and collisions common.
- Emergency teams and volunteer medics provided on-route care and hospitals treated both local and foreign runners, five of whom were foreigners including a German who was gored in the arm.
- The festival remains a major cultural event—boosted this year by the Hemingway centenary—and its afternoon bullfights, which result in the bulls' deaths, continue to shape debate about the event's risks.
