(description of the photo*) A participant runs ahead of a Jandilla fighting bull name Capuchino on the fourth bull run of the San Fermin festival, on July 10, 2009, in Pamplona, northern Spain.


A 400-year-old tradition is facing some new challenges this year at this week's annual running of the bulls in Spain.

Celebrations for the San Fermin festival are already underway, but the first running of the bulls will be held Wednesday in the northern Spanish town of Pamplona.

The city is once again handing out 100,000 leaflets to local and foreign festival-goers explaining how to minimize the risk of accidents during the spectacle.

It's a warning and a reminder of the dangers and even death that can occur when hundreds of runners sprint alongside the half-ton bulls and steers. Last year saw the first fatal goring in more a decade.
