A BRITON and two Americans were gored and eight others were injured as thousands of daredevils dashed alongside fighting bulls in the first bull-run of Pamplona's San Fermin festival, organisers said.

The 30-year-old Briton and the Americans, aged 27 and 38, were gored by the bulls but none are thought to be in a serious condition, the San Fermin press office said.

Three Americans were among the eight others injured, most with bruises sustained in falls and crowd crushes during the nationally televised run that lasted just over two minutes.

In all, 15 people have died from gorings in San Fermin since record-keeping began in 1924.
