　　Craze In First Run Of Bulls

　　Bulls and humans alike slipped and slid on thecobblestone streets, but the first of Pamplona'sannual runs with the bulls was largely free of injuryas thousands of daredevils2 sprinted with the half-ton animals.

　　Some runners, sounding disappointed, said theywould seek out greater danger in coming days as thewidely popular, centuries-old San Fermin3 festival serves up six more runs this week.

　　“ It was a bit timid, to be honest. Nowhere near as scary as in the books, ”said Johnny, 26,from New Zealand, here for the first time after reading about San Fermin on a website.

　　“Tomorrow we are going to try and run a bit closer to the bulls and get a bit more adrenaline, ”added his friend, Richard, 26 , cradling the day's first beer.

　　The streets were slightly slick with morning dew as six fighting bulls and six steers dashedfrom a corral along the 900 -yard course through the city’s old quarter to the bull ring.

　　At two sharp turns, several bulls slipped and went down with a heavy thud, and two bulls wereseparated from the pack. And a minor pileup of fallen runners formed at the tunnel leadinginto the bullring. Bulls jumped or stepped over the runners.

　　Thousands of people watching in the street and from balconies shouted as the bulls rumbledthrough the city’s old quarter, taking just over two and a half minutes to cover course.

　　No one was gored, although four people who were trampled were hospitalized for treatment ofhead, chest, rib or leg injuries. None was seriously hurt.

　　The steers are meant to keep the bulls more or less in a cluster — a spooked, isolated bull isvery dangerous

　　The fiesta 4, famed for its all-night street parties, dates back to the late 16 th century butgained world fame from Ernest Hemingway5's novel The Sun Also Rises. Tens of thousandsfrom all over the world have been pouring into Pamplona for the annual festival ever since .
