- Marking its 100th anniversary this year, the San Fermín festival gained worldwide fame after novelist Ernest Hemingway featured it in his 1926 work 'The Sun Also Rises,' drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors annually.
- Fighting bulls can weigh 600 kilograms , while the average runner is a 28-year-old male. Workers install 2,700 wooden boards and 900 pickets for the course.
- Despite the animals' unpredictable reputation, the Cebada Gago herd completed a clean run from beginning to end. Three people required medical assistance, though no major injuries were reported.
- Spain's main opposition party leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo watched the run from a balcony Wednesday morning. Beyond the runs, the festival features parades, music, religious ceremonies, and round-the-clock street festivities.
