Runner gored in the face at Spain's annual bull run festival

During Spain's annual San Fermin festival in Pamplona, a bull runner was pierced in the face by a bull's horn, and 12 others required medical attention after a chaotic bull run on July 11, 2026. The event, part of the eight-day festival, saw six bulls charge through crowds, leading to multiple injuries as participants struggled to avoid the animals. One runner was struck directly by a horn, while others suffered various injuries, including broken bones. The incident occurred during the fifth morning run of the festival, which coincides with the centennial anniversary of Ernest Hemingway's novel 'The Sun Also Rises.' While fatalities are rare—last occurring in 2009—the event remains known for its risks, particularly due to the participation of inexperienced runners and foreign tourists.

Bias read (Center): The article reports on a sports event (San Fermin festival) without political framing. It presents factual information about the physical risks involved in the activity, focusing on the medical outcomes and event logistics rather than any ideological or political stance.
