The bulls stayed together at the beginning of the encierro, however one bull took the lead as they ran up the slope of Santo Domingo and through the narrower alley.  At the entrance to the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, the bull in the lead hit a runner.  The race lasted two minutes and 52 seconds.

The fifth running of the bulls featured toros from the ranch of Dolores Aguirre (Sevilla).  The run proved exciting and despite a bull getting separated from the herd after the curve of Mercaderes, no one received a horn wound.  The day after the death of the young Jimeno Daniel Romero, even more runners crowded into the course today, coinciding with the start of the weekend, the most popular time for visitors to come to the festival of San Fermin.  Despite the crowds, the bulls completed the run in a swift two minutes and fifty-two seconds. 

After singing the traditional song three times, asking the saint for protection, the bulls were released at 8:00am and soon a black Burraco bull (with a grey and white backside markings), began to lag behind.

At the famous curve before Estafeta street, the lagging bull slipped and fell, increasing the distance between him and the rest of the herd.  This lagging bull opened up the pack of bulls and steers for the runners to take advantage of the space to run with them into the bull ring where they were quickly locked up in their corral.

Meanwhile, the lagging bull walked as the pastores hit young men who tried to get too close to it. However, one reckless youth ran toward the bull's head, catching its attention and he received repeated attacks but no horn wounds.

This last bull finally entered the plaza without further incident and was herded to the corral.
