真冲鸭！这只鸭多次征战马拉松，还拿了奖牌

Imagine the marathon(马拉松) runners’ surprise when they look down during the race and see an unusual sight: A large white duck wearing special shoes and running. The 2-year-old duck is Wrinkle. She was born in Louisville, Kentucky.

Wrinkle’s owners take Wrinkle everywhere they go. In 2021, Wrinkle became popular online when videos of the New York City Marathon caught her joining in the race. Then Wrinkle took part in the Boston Marathon to cheer the runners on. Recently she was back to the marathon as a special guest at the Jovia Long Island Marathon Weekend. She even got her very own medal!

Wrinkle’s pace of 18 minutes and eight seconds per kilometer at the Long Island Marathon makes her a winner. Speaking of records, in 2021 Wrinkle beat out long-time Internet favorite Ben Afquack for the Guinness World Record in the “most followers for a duck” group.

How cute is this little runner? We’d never be able to finish the race if we saw Wrinkle running next to us because we’d be laughing too hard!
