Today's San Fermín bull run will feature La Palmosilla. Six bulls from the Tarifa ranch will run through the streets of Pamplona this Sunday in the sixth bull run of the 2026 festival.
The race began at 8:00 AM from the corrals at the Santo Domingo slope and will end at the bullring after crossing the Plaza Consistorial, Mercaderes, Estafeta, and Telefónica.
What time is today's San Fermín bull run
The sixth bull run began at 8:00 AM on Sunday, July 12.
Before the start, runners will chant the song to San Fermín three times in front of the niche located on the Santo Domingo slope. The firing of a rocket will mark the opening of the corrals and the start of the race.
Here are the main details:
* Date: Sunday, July 12, 2026.
* Time: 8:00 AM.
* Ranch: La Palmosilla.
* Bull run number: sixth of San Fermín 2026.
* Start: Santo Domingo slope.

Where to watch the sixth San Fermín bull run
The bull run can be watched live on La 1 de TVE, Canal 24 Horas, and RTVE Play.
Radio Nacional will also broadcast the race. RTVE Play offers a multi-camera option this year that allows viewers to follow different points of the route.
The special broadcast begins before eight with the atmosphere in the streets, the runners' chants, and an analysis of the bulls that will participate in the bull run.
La Palmosilla returns after four goring injuries
La Palmosilla arrives with one of the toughest precedents from recent San Fermín festivals.
Its bulls left four people injured by goring in 2025, the highest number of gorings in that edition. Such a figure had not been reached in a single race since 2016, when Cebada Gago caused seven gorings.
The ranch's previous track record had been very different. Its first three participations in Pamplona ended without goring injuries. In 2024, it resulted in one goring, and a year later, the total rose to four.
A ranch known for its speed
La Palmosilla bulls usually complete the course at high speed.
The average of their five previous participations is two minutes and 43 seconds, although this record is influenced by the 2024 race, which exceeded four minutes. Excluding it, the average of the other four bull runs is reduced to two minutes and 23 seconds.
Speed can allow for long runs in front of the bulls, but it also reduces reaction time. The risk increases especially if a bull separates from the steers or finds the course saturated with participants.
The bulls from La Palmosilla for this Sunday
The lot transferred to Pamplona is composed of eight bulls weighing between 555 and 590 kilos, although only six will run in the bull run and will be fought in the afternoon.
These are the eight animals brought:
* Camarado, black brindle, 590 kilos.
* Mágico, black mulatto, 590 kilos.
* Jubiloso, light chestnut, 580 kilos.
* Mirloblanco, streaked black mulatto, 580 kilos.
* Cortijero, streaked black mulatto, 575 kilos.
* Sombrerito, chestnut, 575 kilos.
* Zorzal, red, 565 kilos.
* Cantarillo, chestnut, 555 kilos.
The six selected for the run will subsequently be taken to the corrals of the bullring, where they will remain until the afternoon bullfight.
Who is fighting this afternoon in Pamplona
The sixth bullfight of the Feria del Toro will begin at 6:30 PM.
The bulls from La Palmosilla will be fought by Fortes, Fernando Adrián, and Samuel Navalón, according to the official program of the Pamplona City Council.
Sunday's event also coincides with Diversity Day within the official San Fermín program.
Which ranch is running tomorrow in San Fermín
The seventh bull run will take place on Monday, July 13th with bulls from Miura, one of the most recognizable brands of the festival.
Manuel Escribano, Pepe Moral, and Jesús Enrique Colombo make up the poster for Monday's bullfight. The last bull run will arrive on Tuesday the 14th with bulls from Jandilla.
