"Half Crazy Race": Runners Got Shocked To See A Speedy Goose Joining Marathon

Running is important for our health, and competitions are routinely held to motivate individuals to put themselves in better shape. These competitions consistently draw a large number of runners, and you might get familiar with them; however, have you ever had the opportunity to compete in a race where animals are also participating? A man who took part in his first marathon has shared this humorous running experience with us.
A few days ago, Jack Dolan just suited up with a few pals to run the "Rock the Parkway" half marathon in Kansas City, Missouri.

Dolan has not frequently done exercises, hence it's hard for him to adapt to running such a distance. As a result, Dolan's legs were fatigued halfway through the race.
“I truly hate running, to be honest,” Dolan shared.
He had to slow down and deal with the discomfort, but all of a sudden, an unexpected image appeared that distracted him from the pain. He may have anticipated all the required details before starting, but he definitely wasn't expecting this:

Interestingly, a goose came flying out of nowhere and landed on the walkway. And while being surrounded by confused racers, the bird started to run. He was also very quick. He stretched out his wings and stuck out his neck as he attempted to pick up the pace and keep up with his fellow runners.

Unexpectedly, a goose appeared in the air and landed on the sidewalk. The bird started to flee, surrounded by bewildered racers. He moved swiftly as well. In an effort to quicken up the pace and keep up with his fellow racers, he spread out his wings and thrust out his neck.
“He just swooped down with the flow of traffic and started to outpace me!” Dolan said. "It was a sight to see."

"He went for a bit then took a break on the sideline. Then swooped back in again for a quick sprint," Dolan said.
Eventually, Dolan lost sight of the goose after the bird moved off to the side for another rest. That gave Dolan the lucky break he needed to cross the finish line before the animal.
"He definitely was on pace to kick my ass," Dolan shared.
No one has yet to confirm if the unidentified goose was able to complete the half marathon. However, Dolan had done it, accomplishing his first-ever half marathon. Unfortunately, soreness from the run still lingers, as do Dolan's thoughts on the random goose who decided to join in that day.

"I'm not sure what he’s up to now, but I hope his legs don’t hurt as bad as mine do," Dolan said.
