Runners jostle with each other to stay ahead of the bulls during the sixth bull-run of the San Fermin Festival in Pamplona, northern Spain on Saturday. Pamplona, famous for the festival that mixes bull- runs with round-the-clock drinking, has launched a campaign to stop sexual assaults during the fiesta. The nine-day festival started July 6.

Several runners scramble to safety and a man covers his face as bulls bear down on them during the sixth bull-run Saturday. On Saturday, three Spanish men were injured as several thousand ran alongside the bulls. One man was taken to hospital with a suspected fracture. Since records began, 15 people have died while running with the bulls. 

Shepherds run with leading oxen during the seventh bull-run on Sunday. Four men were injured during this run. Despite the injuries and deaths, both locals and tourists flock to the annual summer festival to pit their wits against the bulls.
