The first bull run of San Fermín 2024 in Pamplona, Spain, concluded with a mix of excitement and challenges.

The encierro, featuring bulls from La Palmosilla ranch, lasted 4 minutes and 4 seconds, longer than usual due to two bulls lingering in the arena.

Despite the extended duration, the run maintained a good pace, though the pack stretched out in the second half of the course.

The event saw several falls and some collisions between bulls and runners, but no immediate reports of gorings.

This year's festival, expected to be particularly crowded with two full weekends, began with the traditional 'chupinazo' rocket launch, immersing Pamplona in nine days of festivity.
