PAMPLONA, Spain (Reuters) - Eight people were taken to hospital with minor injuries, though no one was gored on Thursday during the last bull run of the nine-day San Fermin festival in the northern city of Pamplona.

Thousands of runners travel from all over the world to take part in the 875-metre race, in which white-shirted, red scarved runners are chased by specially-bred fighting bulls through the narrow streets of the medieval city.
