In the lush, green state of Oregon, where the trees grow taller than skyscrapers and the flowers bloom brighter than a box of crayons, there is a group of plucky kids who love to run marathons. Yes, marathons! These are not your ordinary, everyday, around-the-block runners, oh no! These are the "Oregon Ostrich Legs" as they like to call themselves. The Oregon Ostrich Legs are led by their quirky coach, Captain Crunchy Calf, a man with calves so muscular they could crush coconuts. Captain Crunchy Calf, with his shock of red hair sprouting like a mushroom cloud and a whistle that shrieks louder than a banshee, is the most energetic human you'll ever meet. He can outrun a squirrel, outjump a kangaroo, and still have enough breath to tell the funniest joke you've ever heard! The kids who form part of the Oregon Ostrich Legs are as diverse as the state's landscapes, from the sandy beaches to the snow-capped mountains. There's Breezy Barbara, with hair as blue as Crater Lake, who can sprint faster than a summer thunderstorm. Then there's Lanky Larry, tall as a Douglas Fir tree, whose long strides cover the distance with ease. Let's not forget about Puffy-Pants Pete, who prefers to run in his colorful balloon trousers, making the spectators giggle at every race. Together, these Oregon Ostrich Legs run marathons, laughing, cheering, and puffing their way through every mile marker. It's a sight to behold, a spectacle as enchanting as a field of wildflowers, and as heartwarming as a sunrise over Mount Hood. One thing's for sure, in the state of Oregon, marathon running is not just a sport—it's an adventure!
