_Various running stories, especially those funny ones, are really enjoyed by many people because they actually happened in real situations. During running competitions, various unusual things like an attack of birds and goats and verbal abuse from one runner to another really happened to a runner named, “Bigeasy.”

Another funny running story experienced by Ryan Chung, a 13-year old runner, was during his participation in the 1000m running event. An old participant in the competition sarcastically said, “Run, Forest, run!” because he was already behind Ryan. Ryan just kept on running when suddenly, a few minutes later, he realised that the old man had stumbled and fallen!

A story shared by “ahabchaser” is also a humorous one that occurred in Hong Kong (HK). According to this runner, he was running along with his five-month old son in HK when suddenly he encountered different types of wild animals, including a cobra, banana spider and monkeys. Numerous other locals in Hong Kong, witnessing her super fast running to avoid those animals, laughed, and one woman even scolded her for pushing her baby so fast!

“Kimmi” has an interesting and funny idea about running, which is about running shoes and how people run in them. This runner focuses on the shoes of his opponents during competitions and found that the most common shoes used are those with heavy features, including basketball trainers and cross trainers!

There are a lot of funny stories told by runners concerning their day to day running activities. There is one particular story where a man related a funny anecdote. One day, while taking a run near the seashore, he was suddenly hit on the head. Turning around, he saw a big black bird flying over him. The bird suddenly attacked him and he freaked put. Shocked, he ran as fast as he could. After the incident, he never had the nerve to run through that place again for weeks.

There is also a scary anecdote about a man running near the Bike Path route. A cemetery stands at the left side of the road. The first section is all woods-future expansion area with no street lights on the dark side. When the man came upon this section one morning, a vehicle suddenly came up on his right with the headlights casting him along the fence line. The car was moving closer and the scary stranger moved along the fence towards him. He gasped and ran off the path a few steps ahead. Then he realised he was just daydreaming

Another funny story is about a man who runs with a new iPod Nano at hand. As he ran along a dark gravel path, he reached for his iPod to change the track. He did not notice then that he was running crookedly in a different path in. He ran into a ditch, hit a tree, and fell down.
