PAMPLONA, Spain — Several people were trampled but not seriously hurt Wednesday as thousands took part in the first bull run of the San Fermin festival (search), dashing along the slippery cobblestone streets of this ancient city in northern Spain. 'Running ahead of bulls is life and I wanted to feel alive,' said Ray Sabbatini, 36, of Wisconsin, who suffers from multiple sclerosis and was accompanied by his friend Dennis Rodman (search), the retired National Basketball League star. 'I wasn't afraid,' said Rodman, wearing sunglasses and still looking muscular, tattooed and larger than life as he ate ox tail stew at a cafe following the two-minute run. 'I like strong emotions.' None of the runners was gored, and only four injuries were serious enough to require treatment. Two bulls skidded and fell, as did some runners after a night of rain left the streets slick. 'So far there aren't serious injuries, but there's a lot of people with little experience and we have a lot of work,' said Mikel Eusa of the Red Cross. Policeman Jose Ramon said he prevented two Australians from taking part out of concern for their safety: 'They had a lot to drink and I didn't let them by.'
