Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, July 14, 2026 —
Pamplona, Spain – The annual San Fermin festival in Pamplona concluded on a dramatic note with two participants gored during the final bull run of the event.
The incidents occurred during the last bull run, a daily ritual that forms the centerpiece of the week-long festival. According to reports, an 18-year-old Spanish runner sustained an injury to his thigh. In a separate incident during the same run, a 46-year-old man was gored in the thorax.
In addition to the two gored participants, eight other runners received treatment for minor injuries sustained during the final run. These injuries typically include bruises and abrasions, common occurrences during the high-stakes event.
The San Fermin festival, internationally renowned for its daily bull runs through the narrow streets of Pamplona’s old town, attracts thousands of participants and spectators each year. The festival honors Saint Fermin, the co-patron saint of Navarre.
While the festival is celebrated for its vibrant culture and adrenaline-fueled events, it also draws criticism from animal rights groups concerned about the welfare of the bulls involved in the runs and subsequent bullfights.
The conclusion of this year’s festival marks the end of the running of the bulls, with authorities reporting the full conclusion of the events as scheduled. No further incidents were reported following the final run.
