Spain: 9 injured, no one gored in final Pamplona bull run
More than a thousand people took part in the 8 a.m. (0600 GMT, 2 a.m. EDT) run, which lasted just under 2½ minutes.
The Navarra regional government said nine participants were admitted to a city hospital for contusions and cuts but none was in serious condition.
The nine-day fiesta, known also for its 24-hour street partying, became world famous with Ernest Hemingway`s 1926 novel "The Sun Also Rises" and attracts thousands of foreign tourists.
In the runs, hundreds of daredevils dash with six fighting bulls and their accompanying steer along a 930-yard (850-meter) street course to the city`s bull ring. The bulls then face matadors and almost certain death in afternoon bullfights.
Bull runs are a traditional part of summer festivals across Spain.
Twelve people, including four Americans, were gored in the eight runs at this year`s festival. Six were later released from the city hospital and the rest were said to be progressing well.
In all, 15 people have died from gorings at the festival since record-keeping began in 1924.
