4 Receive Minor Injuries At Third Pamplona Bull Run In Spain

No one was gored and only four people were injured during the third bull run at the San Fermin festival in Pamplona, Spain.

Thousands of brave thrillseekers filled the narrow streets of the northern Spanish city Sunday and Monday to run alongside six fighting bulls in the annual race.

Officials said that no one was gored during the race and no serious injuries were reported. A 24-year-old Australian and 44-year-old British national were treated for bruising, while an American citizen and a 36-year-old native of Pamplona were hospitalized for minor injuries, reports the Associated Press.

Every morning of the festival at 8 a.m., six bulls bred for fighting, race through the medieval streets of Pamplona with a large mass of steers that each wearing a clanking cowbell and are tasked with keeping the pack tight and galloping at an even pace.

There was a moment of tension as the last bull of the pack became disoriented and turned around to look back at runners before it eventually entered the bullring without charging at anyone.

Another participant in the 930-yard run was New York Jets coach Rex Ryan. According to ESPN, Ryan was uninjured while participating both days in the run, which is the highlight of a nine-day street festival and is televised nationally.

The bulls used in the centuries-old fiesta can weigh up to at 1,380 pounds or 625 kilograms. Since 1924, bulls have killed 15 people during the renowned bull run.
