Several Runners Injured During Pamplona Bull Run (CNNViralVideos)

The bulls from the Victoriano del Rio ranch completed the fastest run so far at this year’s San Fermin festival in the northern Spanish city of Pamplona, creating dangerous conditions that resulted in several runners being trampled.

The bulls needed just two minutes and 11 seconds to cover the 850-meter (approximately half-mile) distance from the Santo Domingo stockyard to the bullring.

The animals stayed in a tight herd as they ran through the streets of Pamplona, a normally quiet town that welcomes hundreds of thousands of Spanish and international visitors annually during the festival, catching up quickly with the runners and overtaking them, sending many people falling to the ground.

No one, however, was gored during the speedy run, which was the fourth of the festival.

The San Fermin festival, which started on Saturday and ends on July 14, is known around the world for its running of the bulls and street revelry.
