[Kodi] "Kodi's Old Shoes."

Lift your knees high and feel the burn
like Lawetlat'la doing volcano-robics.

Whew! I should have stretched
before working out.

-Oh!
-[children giggle]

I think we've warmed up
enough for one day.

Nuh-uh. We're not gonna stop
until my heart is racing...

-[falcon call]
-Ah!

Okay, my heart is racing. We can stop.

-[calls]
-[children] Wow.

A falcon. What's wrong with her cute claw?

Don't worry. She'll be better soon
thanks to the Jim Thorpe Fun Run.

We're raising money
to help all the park's injured animals.

-A Fun Run?
-The winner gives the check to the rescue.

I'm gonna run
as fast as Jim Thorpe to win!

[panting]

That's the spirit, Kodi.

Jim Thorpe was one
of the best athletes of all time.

[Summer] Yeah. He was a member
of the Sac and Fox Nation

and won two gold medals in the Olympics.

-Really? Cool. Whoa!
-[thud]

Ah, not again. My shoes came untied.

[calls]

And a... [calls] ...to you too.

That's falcon for,
"It's very nice to meet you."

Mm. My falconry's a bit rusty.
All I heard from that was...

-[mimics falcon call]
-[horn honking]

[gasps] Our California Junior Rangers
are here early.

Will you give them a big welcome while
we take care of our feathered friend?

-Yeah!
-You might wanna come with us, too.

-We don't want everyone seeing you.
-Fine. Then it's high knees. Hup two.

[Lizard grunts]

-Haku and welcome!
-[girl] Hi.

We're the Junior Rangers
of Xus National Park.

Hi. I'm Sam.

I'm a Junior Ranger from
Redwood National Forest,

and can't wait to race.

Hi, Sam. I'm Eddy.

That's my sister, Summer,
and my brother, Kodi.

Wow! Cool shoes, Sam.

[Sam] Yeah.
They're brand-new to help me win.

They have lights, wings,
and I don't even need to tie my shoelaces.

They'll make me as fast as Jim Thorpe.
Cool, huh?

-Wow.
-Awesome!

[gasps]

Oh... cool.

I'd better get a race number.
See you at the Fun Run.

Wow, Sam's a fast runner.

And those lights.
They're as cool as mine. See?

[sighs] I'll never beat Sam
with these shoes.

If you feel the need for speed,

you should meet Fox spirit
from the Sac and Fox Nation.

She's faster than me
racing to the beetle buffet.

Mm. If Fox will teach me to be speedy,
I'm in. Let's go.

[howls]

[gasps] Is that Rabbit
from the Trickster Trio?

This can't be good.

Don't worry. Fox is gonna ace this race.

-Oh, and there she is.
-Whoa!

[panting]

[Fox panting]

I'm right on
your adorable cotton-ball bunny tail.

Silly Fox.
You'll never beat me while I got this.

My gear is pure Hummingbird feathers.
Peep it and weep.

What? Wait, really?

Ouch! Oh!

[gasp]

-[Rabbit laughs]
-Rabbit wins the race.

[sighs]

Running is such sweet sorrow.

Yeah! No one can beat me.

Here, let me lend a wing.

[air blowing]

Thanks for your help.

We're the Spirit Rangers.

We were actually wondering
if you could help us out too.

If it's about running, save your breath.

-I quit.
-What?

But we need you to teach us
how to run fast.

You should ask Rabbit instead.

He just beat me in a race
for my Jim Thorpe trophy. [sighs]

There's no way I can win
while he has that new armband.

[gasps] You know about Jim Thorpe?

Of course. We're from the same tribe.

But rules are rules.

The winner of the race
won the trophy, and I didn't win.

It's okay.
You could win it back in a rematch.

Fox's chances of winning are like
my chances of not eating a carrot.

Zero!

I can't wait to put bunny ears and a fake
mustache on my Jim Thorpe trophy.

I always thought
he needed a prank makeover,

which I'm calling a prank-over! [laughs]

No!

How'd you get those feathers
from Hummingbird, anyway?

Let's just say I "borrowed" them.

"Borrowed" means "stole"
if you're a trickster.

Borrowed, stole, same difference.
All you need to know

is that Hummingbird's
supersonic feathers are mine.

And if you want a rematch,
you know where to find me.

[laughs]

Rabbit's right.

I guess I'll never be
as fast as him now. [sighs]

I know how you feel.

How can we win our races
without the newest running gear?

-You just need a little practice.
-We'll help.

Summer's fast,
Xuxa'w and 'Onokok are zippy,

and I'm a great coach.

Together, we can train you two
to be the best racers ever.

I'm in. I might just need a new routine.

Let's train!

To be extra zippy, you need to warm up
with some Lizard leaps.

Observe.

[Lizard] Ha! Oh!

Watch the fur, please.
I just got out of the Qamash-wash.

-[grunts] Your turn.
-Mm.

[grunting]

[gasp and scream]

Hey. What did I say about my fur?

It's so soft.
You can really feel the Qamash-wash.

Mm!

So fluffy.

[giggling]

[gasps]

High knees. Skoden.

You got this. Log rolling is a great way
to practice your sprints.

[panting]

[croaks]

Eh, faster, Fox.

[panting] I'm moving my paws
as fast as I can.

Too... fast. Qamash is... dizzy.

-[Fox and Kodi scream]
-[splash]

[gasps]

-[croaks]
-[giggling]

[panting]

-[Eddy] Go, Fox!
-[Coyote] Keep going!

-Woo-hoo!
-Go, Kodi!

Our training worked. We're fast as ever!

[roars]

This is tail-tastic.

Ha-ha!

You think training is enough
to outrace me?

I never train,
and I eat over 100 carrot cakes a day.

But with this armband,
I can still outrun anyone.

See ya later, slow pokes.

Oh. [sighs]

Don't listen to him. It was a trick.
Trust me. I know tricks.

-[Eddy grunts]
-Tricks are how Rabbit won the last race.

Training is how you'll win the next one.

I don't know.

You saw how fast he was with his armband.

Tricks or not, he still beat me.

If I can't be faster than him,
I might as well give up.

Wait, Fox. You can't quit.
You're the fastest runner in the park.

-Kodi, you have to stop her.
-Why?

There's no way I can win without new shoes
if Fox can't win without a new armband.

[sighs]

You can race without me.

[birds chirping in distance]

Hey there, racers.

Why so glum?

You left your Fun Run number
on the field, little bear.

-Let me help you put it back on.
-That's okay...

I wanted to race, but there's no way
I can compete with these old things.

-They don't even light up.
-They sure don't.

Just like I don't have a single
Hummingbird feather to make me fast.

I'm just cute and fuzzy.

[both sigh]

Ah, is that what's going on?

You know, Jim Thorpe's shoes
went missing the day of his Olympic race.

[gasps] What did he do?

He ended up winning wearing two old
mismatched shoes he found in the garbage.

If we learned anything from Jim Thorpe,
it's that gear doesn't make the athlete.

Your heart does.

You know, If Jim Thorpe
can run without the newest gear,

I think I can too.

And I don't need an armband.

Come on, you've got a Fun Run to race,
and I've got a trophy to win back.

[exciting music builds]

There. I hope you like bunny ears,
Jim Twerp.

[laughs]

Hey, Rabbit,
get your paws off that trophy.

I'm here for a rematch
and to win my trophy back.

-Oh, yeah!
-Yeah!

I'd say good luck,

but I've got two lucky rabbit's feet
and a Hummingbird feather armband.

There's no way you'll outrun me.
Challenge accepted.

-Game on!
-Game on.

[Mom] Ready, racers?

Masix, 'iško'm, paka's, go!

[propulsive music playing]

[howling]

-Can't catch me. [laughs]
-What?

[panting]

-[grunts]
-[thud]

[sighs]

There you go, bro.

Remember, shoes don't matter
if you've got heart. Go, go, go!

-[animal spirit 1] Hooray! Woo-hoo!
-[animal spirit 2] Yeah!

[woman] Yeah! All right!

[Summer] Go, Kodi!

-Go!
-All right!

I did it. Hooray!

Wahoo!

I'm the fastest spirit in the park.

B-but, how'd you win?

My Hummingbird feathers
were supposed to make me faster.

My feathers don't make you fast.

All your armband did
was make a mess of my tail feathers.

-Give me those back!
-Hey, that's mine!

[nervous giggle] Never mind.
You can keep it. Gotta go.

Ah!

Mwack!

The Jim Thorpe Fun Run was awesome.

We raised enough money
to help the animals at our local rescue.

Go, Junior Rangers!

-Yeah!
-Go, us!

-[calls]
-Woo-hoo!

Congratulations, Kodi.

You ran so fast today. How'd you do it?

A little practice
and some help from a friend.
