Duck runs marathon in NY

Wrinkle the duck was awarded a medal for completing the Long Island race and has gone viral on social media after a clip was posted on Instagram.

The duck also stopped for a photo opportunity after completing the marathon, as she showed off her prize.

The caption on the post read: ‘Wrinkle Finished a Marathon.

Thanks so much to @limarathon for having Wrinkle as a special guest to run in the Long Island Marathon Weekend (sic).’

The duck has previous sporting experience after waddling through the New York City Marathon last year with her own custom duck shoes.
