  • Each day’s run lasts three to four minutes over an 846-meter cobblestone course with thousands of spectators watching from balconies and barricades.
  • Up to 4,000 runners sprint ahead of six bulls led by steers while many suffer injuries or gorings, and four runners died on the deadliest day, July 13, 1980.
  • The festival lasts nine days with bullfights each afternoon where professional matadors slaughter the morning’s bulls as part of ongoing cultural entertainment.
