Eight-year San Fermín bull run saw multiple injuries to participants, including an 86-year-old British man and two local men.

Multiple injuries were reported following the final bull runs of the San Fermín festival in Pamplona, Spain. The annual event resulted in 57 total injuries, according to regional government statements, with the most recent incidents involving an 86-year-old British man and two local Spaniards. On the final day, an 18-year-old local man suffered a gore wound to his thigh, while a 46-year-old man from Guadalajara in central Spain received a horn wound to the chest. These accounts confirm that even experienced participants face risks during the demanding event. The festival, which draws global crowds, involves running ahead of bulls through narrow city streets. While the bulls complete the course in under three minutes, the sheer volume of people crammed into the course leads to common accidents, including falls and minor injuries. Sixteen fatalities have been recorded during the bull runs since 1911. The previous death occurred in 2009, highlighting the inherent danger of the traditional event.
