Runners risk life and limb at Pamplona

THOUSANDS of thrill-seekers ran with five fighting bulls in Spain’s best-known fiesta yesterday but all avoided serious injury from the deadly horns of the half-ton beasts.

Fifteen people have been killed in the bull-running fiesta since 1910 and hundreds injured, but yesterday only five people were taken to hospital after the traditional 900-yard sprint and no one was gored.

In 1995, a bull from the same ranch as those running yesterday gored a young American to death in the early morning run.
