Bulls from the Miura ranch led the seventh run of the 2026 San Fermín festival in Pamplona on Monday [1].
The event is a central pillar of the San Fermín tradition, drawing global attention to the speed and behavior of the animals. The Miura ranch is specifically invited for its reputation for high speed and disciplined movement during the runs [1, 2].
According to El País, the run was completed in two minutes and 34 seconds [1]. The publication said the event was a fast and clean race that resulted in no injuries caused by bull horns [1].
Despite the lack of gore wounds, several participants suffered minor injuries. Reports on the number of contusions vary between sources. El País said eight people suffered contusions [1], while MSN said six people sustained light injuries [2].
Medical responses were required for some participants following the event. One MSN report said that four people were hospitalized after the run [3].
"Se completó en 2 minutos y 34 segundos en una carrera rápida, limpia y sin heridos por asta de toro," El País said [1].
The Miura bulls are known for their power and are often considered among the most challenging for runners. The efficiency of Monday's run suggests the animals maintained a steady pace through the traditional route, minimizing the chaotic collisions that often lead to more severe injuries.
“The run was completed in two minutes and 34 seconds [1].”
The lack of horn-related injuries during a Miura run is a significant outcome, as these bulls are historically more aggressive. The discrepancy in injury counts between local and international reporting highlights the difficulty of real-time casualty tracking in the crowded streets of Pamplona.
