STORYLINE:
Hundreds of people ran through the narrow streets of Pamplona while chased by a herd of bulls Wednesday, marking day three of the famous San Fermin festival.
The bulls from ran the 850 meter (yards) route in 2 minutes 21 seconds, leaving an injury count of one leg wound and a number of sprains and bruises.
As tradition calls, runners sang a song to an image of patron Saint Fermin just minutes before the bulls are let loose to ask for protection during the run.
Many of the runners held a rolled up newspaper, which is supposed to be used during the run to keep a distance from the bull.
Every morning during the festivities, the image of patron Saint Fermin is placed in a small cove above the route, near the start.
Up to 4,000 runners take part in each bull run, which takes place over 846 meters (2,775 feet) and can last two to four minutes.
Most runners wear the traditional garb of white trousers and shirt with red sash and neckerchief. The expert Spanish runners try to sprint just in front of the bull’s horns for a few death-defying seconds while egging the animal on with a rolled newspaper.
Thousands of spectators watched from balconies and wooden barricades along the course. Millions more follow the visceral spectacle on live television.
