PAMPLONA, SPAIN (AP) -- Thousands of daredevils have dashed through the narrow streets of Pamplona for this year's first running of the bulls of the famed the San Fermin fiesta.
The thrillseekers raced to keep ahead of six fighting bulls and six bell-tinkling steers tasked with trying to keep the beasts together along the 930-yard (850-meter) course from a holding pen to the northern town's bull ring.
Several of the runners were knocked to the ground and some were trampled on by the bulls and steer but there no immediate reports of gorings.
Red Cross workers told National Spanish Television they had no reports of serious injuries Wednesday.
The 8 a.m. run - the highlight of the festival, comes after a full day and night of hard partying.
