ok, so, who is the fastest runner on the simpsons?
Ned Flanders wears the 'assasins,'
Homer has run the Springfield Marathon, (which Bart illegally won).
Chief Wiggum has been known to sprint after Snake Eyes to "swap insurance info" after a car accident.
votes anyone?
My vote would have to go to Marge tho, cuz she showed speed when she was a cop.
Duh, its Groundskeeper Willie.
Remember what he says? "There's nary an animal alive that can outrun a greased Scotsman"

Agreed.
Duff man?
Duffman....can't breathe.
It's got to be Professor Frink. He's skinny, nerdy and awkward. These are all qualities that make for a good XC runner. Plus, he could invent some crazy performance-enhancing drug that would make him world class.
Professor Frink, end of story.
Don't count out Apu.
Rainier Wolfcastle over short distances.
For longer distances, I nominate Disco Stu. He's got the ectomorphic body (like Frink), plus he's in great aerobic shape from rollerskating everywhere he goes.
Definently comic book guy
Smithers is a dark horse. He is smart, in great shape, and he would run with a chip on his shoulder.
The shirpas that drag Homer up the Murderhorn while he was sleeping would outlast anyone in a marathon, provided they were given an ample supply of powersauce bars.
I dare anyone to disagree.
just remembered about Bart, when he was running after stealing money from Homer--similar to the Indiana Jones "Raiders of the Lost Ark." It's tight, cuz he out ran the garage door and slid underneath it.
Sideshow Bob. Knew I was in trouble on Tuesday night. There was an episode with Sideshow that I had not seen, and in listing the people who hated Homer, Homer said "former President Bush" and not, well, the first President Bush. It was an omen. There's only one "former."
Lisa vs Ashlee in the mile run?
I would be willing to bet Lenny and Carl were studs of the mile in high school. While they spend more time at Moes and less time at "miles," I would guess they would handle everyone else in springfield from mile to marathon.
Gill, prolly never owned a car so he has a lot of mile under his belt form getting around town from job to job, just like our kenyan friends.
i nominate Herb, Homer's half brother. the dude has a ton of determination and heart. maybe he could smoke some dudes.
new topic:
Springfield 5k
Who are the top 10, and what are the times? (additional places/times can also be added)
O.J?
Got to go with Groundskeeper Willie after seeing him speed-crawl to catch Santa's Little Helper in the air ducts. On the other hand, SLH had a pretty poor career at the dog tracks.
Princess, Lisa's one-time pony, or Stampy, Bart's elephant, could probably outrun the human characters.
in the springfield 5k, if all entered and worthless side charcters like a sherpa arent included, my top ten would be:
1. 18:30 Smithers (pedaled a bike while having reaction to bee sting, he has some toughness)
2. 18:53 Groundskeeper Willy (one of the only athletic looking guys)
3. 19:14 Skinner (his army days)
4. 19:27 Cletus (runners body at least)
5. 19:49 Carl (can play basketball, so he is somewhat athletic)
6: 20:24 Ned Flanders (the shoes; he stays in good shape)
7. 20:44.2 Snake (running from the cops is some practice)
8. 20:44.7 Lou the cop (seemed the most fit of the cops)
9. 21:34 Marge (she showed something in her cop days)
10. 22:00 Herman the one armed military guy (had to do some running back in the day)
conclusion, the simpsons dont have many athletic main characters. in fact i think i overestimated their ability
