New York City, United States attended the 50th Annual New York City Marathon on November 7. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the New York City Marathon for 2020 has been canceled and the 2021 edition saw a limited number of competitors – 33,000. Among the ambitious kicks there was one special entry that was possibly the first in New York City Marathon history. Among all the human runners there was a duck named ‘Wrinkle’ who stamped his foot with impeccable vigor and coordination like the other runners. And the best part, she even wears a pair of bright orange running shoes for her webbed feet.
