Running of the Bulls, Encierro, a few hours to go
|
The opening celebration has been going on for quite a few hours already and will continue well into the morning hours. The first encierro, Running of the Bulls, is less than 11 hours away. Some may have gone off to bed to get a good nights rest, while others will party until just a few hours before. It is important to remember that safety is always a big concern in the encierro as it is a dangerous place. The rules strictly state that runners are not allowed to run drunk. Does it happen?...Sure it does, is it wise?...probably not. It helps to have your senses all in in top working order to avoid not only the bulls but also quickly respond to fellow runners who might fall in front of you.
Speaking from my own experience the running of the bulls can be both a run and a obstacle course as there are many who freeze who freeze when they spot the bulls and end up causing the collisions and pile-ups of runners as the domino effect takes place. With everyone running and looking backwards for the bulls most forget that the danger can also be right in front of them. Downed runners and collisions cause the majority of the injuries at the running of the bulls.
If you still have the urge to run, I would recommend going during a weekday as the number of runners can easily double on the weekends, making the running, avoiding, and dodging that much more difficult. It really is an incredible rush to partake in this event. Would I run again? I can honestly say Yes!! Yes, I would.

Running of the Bulls, Encierro 09 July 2007 Video

The latest Running of the Bulls video can be found at http://www.trip-central.com/?page=pages/Fiesta_de_San_Fermin_Pamplona2007/Monday09July2007
With the large weekend crowds dropping off there were quite a few less runners as usual. The run went without any major incidents and all the bulls stayed as a group all the way from start to finish. There were still typical injuries from runners colliding, tripping and falling, but not nearly to the extent of the much larger crowds the running draws on weekends. Latest reports of injuries was seven people.

This run went fast and had several injuries. Early reports look like one possible goring and a second person injured from the a bull as well. Several other injuries along the run as well.
[b]Update:[/b] One Australian was gored in the thigh on Santo Domingo near the beginning of the run. Three others received injuries and also required hospitalization. One bull gets separated after tripping over several runners who tripped over each other. The bull creates some tense moments as he charges a few runners near Telefonica and the entrance to the bullring, pinning of person to the ground for a few seconds.

Todays Running of the Bulls will be able to be viewed shortly at
http://www.trip-central.com/?page=pages/Fiesta_de_San_Fermin_Pamplona2007/Thursday12July2007
Several serious injuries and multiple people gored. Awaiting more reports to find out details and status of those injured and will update as more information becomes available. From seeing parts of the running via footage the some injuries looked severe. At least 4 ambulances were dispatched. Definitely not a good day for runners and a busy day for medic teams and hospitals.
[b]Update:[/b] Seven gored and 6 other injured taken to hospitals in this running. Two of the gored are in very serious condition. So far talks are of this being the worst running for injuries.

A second video of this running has been added to the following page
http://www.trip-central.com/?page=pages/Fiesta_de_San_Fermin_Pamplona2007/Thursday12July2007
Seven runners gored and 6 others injured and taken to hospitals in this running. Two of the gored are in very serious condition with one being what is being called grave danger from a horn to the upper torso. This is by far the worst Running of the Bulls for injuries so far this year.

You can view the video along with todays program schedule at http://www.trip-central.com/?page=pages/Fiesta_de_San_Fermin_Pamplona2007/Friday13July2007
Todays run went very smooth and fast and without major incident. There was no injury due to any goring from horns. Four minor injuries were treated. The only tense moment of todays run happened in the Telefonica area when one of the bulls fell after slipping and taking several seconds to get up before continuing.
[b]Update:[/b] Video has been uploaded

Running of the Bulls, Encierro 14 July 2007 Video
http://www.trip-central.com/?page=pages/Fiesta_de_San_Fermin_Pamplona2007/Saturday14July2007
|
The video for today is at http://www.trip-central.com/?page=pages/Fiesta_de_San_Fermin_Pamplona2007/Saturday14July2007
First reports are of at least one possible goring. The bulls already left at the beginning of the run separated as two of the bulls were off to a late start. I will update more once I gather more information.
[b]Update:[/b]One 21 year old runner from Barcelona was gored during this run. Two others were also taken to the hospital but not from goring related injuries. Overall a surprisingly clean run as a great ending to this years final running of the bulls during the Fiesta de San Fermin.

Your link does not work since it links to a site that does not exist.
For those interested in seeing the daily videos of the run I will be posting them within hours to no more than 24 hours after each daily run.
