Thrill seekers avoided any thrills in the fourth bull run at the San Fermin festival in Pamplona.

A preliminary medical report from the Red Cross and the Spanish city hospital said four people were hit hard while running early on Sunday morning and required treatment. At least one young man needed to be transferred on a stretcher to an ambulance wearing a neck brace.

The six bulls spent two and a half minutes on the 875-meter-long course in Pamplona’s old town.

The run ended in Pamplona’s bullring, where the bull was killed by professional bullfighters later in the day.

Nothing has happened in the bull market so far this year, with four days remaining.

Eight people were stabbed in 2019, the last festival interrupted two years ago due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Since 1910, 16 people have died in Pamplona’s bull run, the last in 2009.

Thousands of foreign tourists come to the Pamplona Festival, made famous in the English-speaking world by Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises.
