Highlights
The running of the bulls, an age-old tradition, is part of the annual San Fermin festival in Pamplona, which takes place from July 7 to 14.
The bullfight takes place every morning during the festival at 8 a.m., with six bulls led by six oxen, an event that usually lasts less than three minutes, the Associated Press reported.
The race is dangerous, with bulls known to gore or kill runners, but only six people were injured Thursday, including an American who broke his arm, CNN reported.
