Temperature over 20 degrees, nerves and a lot of excitement: This was the atmosphere last Saturday in the Plaza de Toros of Pamplona, that held the particular chupinazo of EDP San Fermín Marathon’s sixth edition. The race brought more than 2 500 people together, coming from 18 countries, and representing all autonomic communities as well.
