NEW YORK, NY (BFN) – Hours after the final runner crossed the finish line, reports have surfaced that Sonic the Hedgehog has been permanently banned from the New York City Marathon.
More then 50,000 runners from around the world partook in today’s 47th TCS New York City Marathon, a marathon which saw the first American female winner in over 40 years. Another particpate in the marathon was none other then famed hedgehog and mascot, Sonic the Hedgehog.
The event, which mostly took place without a hiccup, was under the watchful eye of the NYPD. It was New York’s finest who had noticed a “blue streak” popping up on their radars.
“Yeah, this blue streak just kept popping up on our radars. At first we thought it was some sort of malfunction, but it was appearing on all our systems. It felt like it was on loop. Only later, did he realize it was Sonic.”
Sonic was finally apprehended by the boys in blue when he stopped to pickup a chaos emerald. The NYPD added,
“Sonic was completely cooperative and we’re extremely grateful for that.”
However, the NYC Marathon committee was not as appreciative,
“After speaking to the perpetrator and taking a look at NYPD footage we have decided to permanently ban Mr.Hedgehog from participating in the NYC Marathon from here on out. If you looke closely at the radar he must have finished the race at least 100 times and there is no way that is possible without being on some sort of performance enhancer or possessing superhuman abilities, both of which are clearly not allowed according to the NYC Marathon rule book.”
We took a look at the rule book for ourselves, and it does indeed mention that those with superhuman abilities are not allowed to participate.
We reached out to Sonic, but have yet to hear back from him.
