A Cebaga Gago bullfight had never run on a Sunday. The running of the bulls on Sunday have some special characteristics because the stereotypes of the running of the bulls lead us to think that with more runners, there is more danger. However, let’s look at the actual patterns and see what the data tells us. According to the numbers provided by the Pamplona City Council, Sundays are still the days with the most runners. From 2017 to the past, 4,026 runners have disappeared from the running of the bulls, but the pattern remains that Sunday is one of the most recurring days to enjoy a race with bulls like the one in Pamplona.
In 2022, Sunday was the busiest day with 363 runners above average. With one hundred more runners than on Saturday, a traditional pattern, except in 2018 and 2017 where Saturday was the day with the most attendees.

If we take that data and cross it with goring, the data tells us that Sundays are dangerous, but not much more than Thursday. The increase in participants is not particularly reflected in the danger of goring. A goring difference may not seem like much (they give it to you -some would say-)
Of the running of the bulls held on Sunday, the most compelling sections are Santo Domingo, Telefónica and, especially, the Callejón. The section of the Plaza de Toros -without gorings- is the least dangerous, followed by those of the Town Hall, Mercaderes and Estafeta. These data come from the 47 Sundays with Sanfermin running of the bulls in the modern era of the running of the bulls. Let us remember that the Miura confinement of July 13, 1997 was not held, as well as those of 2020 and 2021.
The average duration of these bull runs is 3:53 with a record of 0.82 gorings per bull run. The typical confinement of a Sunday in the eighties included the Pablo Romero, from the nineties, the Miura.
