In the teeny-weeny state of Delaware, sandwiched between New Jersey and Maryland like a slice of cheese in a hearty sandwich, a band of superhero kids known as the "Marathon Munchkins" come together every year to participate in a gallant marathon activity. This is not your ordinary run around the block, oh no! This marathon covers the entire length of Delaware, from Wilmington to Fenwick Island, a whopping 96 miles! Now you might think that's a long way for a kid to run, and you'd be right. But don't you worry! These aren't just your run-of-the-mill kids. They are the Marathon Munchkins! Every Munchkin possesses a magical pair of sneakers, each with its own special talent. Some have the speed of a cheetah, others the endurance of a turtle, and a few, the ability to leap over obstacles as if they were kangaroos. Our main character, Billy Boom-Boom, is the most hilarious of the bunch. He possesses the 'giggling galoshes', a pair of neon yellow sneakers that make everyone around burst into laughter. But don't let his clownish demeanor fool you! When the race begins, Billy's shoes carry him like a streak of sunshine, leaving a trail of laughter echoing across the Delaware landscape. In Delaware, the Marathon Munchkins prove that running isn't just about winning; it's about having a belly-aching good time. So, if you hear the sound of giggling sneakers and see a flash of neon yellow zip by, don't worry, it's just Billy Boom-Boom and his friends, the Marathon Munchkins, on their annual Delaware dash.
