On the first day, two Americans and a Briton were gored. Their injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.

The 8 am run is televised nationally in Spain. It involves six bulls and a guiding steer let loose down a narrow 850-metre course from a holding pen to the city bull ring.

The bulls are then killed by professional matadors in the afternoon.

The United States, Australia, New Zealand and Britain account for the greatest number of foreign participants.

In all, 15 people have been killed by bulls during the festival since record-keeping began in 1924.
