The municipal procession also carries out protocol checks along the route. After all, everything is a liturgy during San Fermín.
The shepherds, staff in hand, are already making themselves visible. Their work is essential to protecting the integrity of the herd and the safety of the runners.
The Regional Police are on the front lines, conducting their usual morning sweeps to ensure everything is in order and leaving only the runners participating in this fourth running of the bulls on the streets of the historic center.
On July 10, 1962, a popular Navarrese jota singer nicknamed El Tuli sang the chant “A San Fermín nos pedidos, por ser nuestro patroness…” for the first time. The tune became popular, sung by the young men beneath the saint’s niche, and became a tradition repeated three times every day minutes before the rocket that signals the start of the running of the bulls.

Today is Children's Day, so the little ones can enjoy all the activities geared toward them. The Giants' Dance, the stalls, children's play areas, the Children's Bull Run, puppet shows, and the Fire Bull are just some of the activities.
Since the mid-18th century, when the running of the bulls was held unofficially, more illegal than legal, a fence was erected to provide security for citizens who came to see the bulls in the streets. In 1876, the city council legalized the running of the bulls, and it was during the San Fermin festival in 1941 that a double fence was installed to reinforce security, as on more than one occasion a bull managed to escape, leading to awkward and even tragic situations.

Finally, two were gored, although one did not need to be taken to hospital.

Pamplona's most famous hill is starting to empty out. Only the young men who are going to run will remain.
There have been many days of celebration that have turned tragic. Throughout history, on every day of San Fermín, gorings have been reported, which unfortunately have led to irreversible consequences. Of the 16 fatalities recorded during the running of the bulls since 1910, four tragedies occurred on July 10th. In 1935, it was a young Mexican man; in 1947, two young men were killed by the horns of the same bull, what has been dubbed a "black day," and in 2009, the last such incident on record.

14 degrees in Pamplona, a cool day but not as cool as yesterday. A good temperature for running this fourth bull run, which tells us we're already halfway through the San Fermin festival.
At the 2024 Sanfermines, Victoriano del Río's bulls performed in a fast-paced running of the bulls, with no injuries, two traumas, and a running time of 2'25".
The fourth running of the bulls of the San Fermin festival features the Madrid bulls from Victoriano del Río, a breed that has become a classic at the Bull Fair and debuted in Pamplona in 2010. Since then, the bulls grazing in the Madrid mountains have performed fast, clean runs without goring. The Pamplona residents have dubbed them "flying bulls" because of their speed in covering the more than eight hundred meters from the Cuesta de Santo Domingo to the bullring.
The right-handers who will face Victoriano del Río's team are Frenchman Sebastián Castella, Extremaduran Emilio de Justo, and Seville-born Borja Jiménez. Reported by Ángel González Abad
