2 Spaniards gored as the San Fermin bull run festival concludes

The festival ended with 57 injuries this year, including two gorings, as runners faced the final 848.6-meter course in two minutes and 25 seconds.

  • On Tuesday, the eighth and final bull run of the San Fermin festival in Pamplona, Spain, left ten men injured. An 18-year-old suffered a thigh gore wound and a 46-year-old was gored in the chest, the Navarre regional government said.
  • This year's fiesta marks 100 years since the publication of Ernest Hemingway's novel "The Sun Also Rises," which launched the event to international fame. Hundreds of daredevils run the 875-meter course through medieval city streets each morning.
  • Ten men were injured Tuesday, bringing the total number of daredevils hurt during this year's fiesta to 57. Five of these injured runners are foreign nationals: two Britons, an Australian, an American, and a German.
  • Although the final run concluded, the festival's closing ceremony takes place at midnight. Sixteen people have died in the bull runs since records started in 1911, with the last death occurring in 2009.
  • The six fighting bulls face almost certain death in afternoon bullfights. Many injuries stem from falls caused by panicking runners, as the animals' speed frequently catches hundreds of participants in the narrow streets by surprise.
