What is a marathon?
A marathon is a long-distance running race where runners run 42.195 km or 26.219 miles.
This year, the New York City Marathon had a very special participant – a duck called Wrinkle! In a video of the duck, originally posted to Instagram, we see Wrinkle the duck running and quacking its way through the streets of New York. Moreover, Wrinkle is wearing red shoes!
The post on Instagram featuring Wrinkle says, “I ran the NY marathon! I’ll get even better next year! Thanks to all the humans that were cheering for me!”
The post has won over 62,000 ‘likes’ and has been viewed over 1.8 million times since being shared two days ago.
