Swift Bulls Create Thrills in Pamplona's Third Encierro

Published: 2024-07-09

The third running of the bulls at San Fermín 2024 in Pamplona delivered high-speed excitement on Tuesday.

Victoriano del Río's bulls, known for their velocity, completed the course in just 2 minutes and 27 seconds, making it the fastest encierro so far this year.

Despite the large crowd of runners, only two people required hospital treatment for minor injuries.

The bulls' speed led to several close calls, particularly in the Telefónica stretch, where runners experienced dangerous moments.

One participant narrowly escaped a goring, feeling the bull's horn graze his abdomen.

The event showcased the Victoriano del Río bulls' reputation for speed and nobility, as they navigated through the packed streets without causing serious harm.
