PAMPLONA, Spain (AP) — A Spanish hospital says six people were injured but none gored in the sixth day of the running of the bulls in Pamplona.

Navarra Hospital says three people suffered head injuries Thursday, while three others suffered injuries to the face, back or shoulder.

The run was fast, as several of this year's have been. It lasted just over two minutes.

At a sharp curve toward the end of the route, some of the six bulls slammed into a wall and a pileup of fallen runners formed. But no one was gored there or at any other point. The bulls run with steers that are supposed to keep them in a pack.

Two more runs remain in this festival that gained international fame with Ernest Hemingway's novel "The Sun Also Rises."
