Sixteen people have died in Pamplona’s bull runs since 1910, with the last death in 2009.
Saturday’s bull run was the third of eight scheduled this year. There were no gorings on the first two days.

The six bulls that run each morning are killed in bullfights by professional bullfighters later in the day.
