Hillmann was gored toward the end of the half-mile course -- just before the downhill slope that leads into a bull ring.

Hillmann lies on the ground after being gored. His friend Alexander Fiske-Harrison described the gash as a "clean wound. It didn't touch a bone or an artery." Hillmann would later have surgery at a hospital, and he is expected to spend about four days there before he is released, Fiske-Harrison said.

Some other runners apparently fell in front of Hillmann, and then he lost his balance, said fellow book contributor Jim Hollander, a veteran photographer.

Hillmann is helped by medical officials. On the first three days of running this year, 13 people have been taken to the hospital -- three for goring-related injuries.
