One runner in the New York City marathon had fans ruffling their feathers.
Wrinkle the duck waddled her way down the streets of New York City on Sunday during the 26.2-mile race as fans cheered her on, according to footage of the race posted to Wrinkle’s TikTok.
Wearing custom duck shoes, Wrinkle can be seen jogging alongside the rest of the runners and letting out a “quack” as she passes the camera.
