These are the 3 fastest cartoon characters that I can come up with who don't have any real "superpowers". Which one do you think would win in a marathon-length type race?

Sonic because not only can he run fast, he cna do flips and adapt to just about any terrain whereas the other two are almost always on simple roads.

hmmm a marathon though..yes I suppose speedy would, if it was an off road fastest to the finish it would be sonic.

While running, the Road Runner would bend the roads in such a way as to foil the others.
Most likely Speedy would get trampled.

It depends:

#1: are ACME products allowed?
#2: are there rings?
#3: is there cheese?
#4: spikes and lava, are these factors?
#5: is there anything that will need to be defeated?

Speedy would get destroyed. Both Sonic and RR are adept at avoiding dangerous road hazards, so I think that's a tossup.

i'm going to say RoadRunner. he might not be the fastest, but he's the most clever. which means he would still be out of there first.

I would pick sonic since he's the only one that can read the road signs, unless they are in Spanish.

Sonic would beat them both and then eat them for dinner when he's done.

NEVER mess with a hedgehog.

Speedy Gonzales gets deported by an over eager border patrol as an illegal.

You kidding me? The ROAD RUNNER! He's so fast that the road actually LIFTS UP OFF THE GROUND when he goes around curves! Sonic and Speedy never did that!

Now agree with me or I'll flood you with more exclaimation points!

I vote for RR since he's more clever.

Sonic is terrain oriented, and never so fast that you can't see him (at least not in the video games). Speedy could go so fast that you couldn't see him, but I never saw him go for long distances. He was more of a sprinter.

The road-runner OTOH, he was built for the open road, and nothing else. There is no competing with his top-end speed and endurance.
