−	~~=== Deleted or altered scenes ===~~
−	Most scenes that were cut or altered occurred during the marathon. The first deleted scene depicted Homer's lungs, heart, and stomach arguing as he runs, before Homer punches his body, telling them to knock it off. The second deleted scene in which Kent claimed that the Australian runner couldn't shake off the one from Djibouti, causing [[Disco Stu]] to show up, believing Kent said "shake your booty". After Lisa corrects him, he claims to have inner ear damage. The third deleted scene occurred after Bart met Lt. Smash, and involved an exhausted Homer being dragged off by three hyenas, believing that they are angels taking him to [[Heaven]].
−
−	One scene that was altered was Smithers and Burns' rickshaw scene, in which the latter hisses "You call yourself a Chinaman?" at the former. Since "Chinaman" is considered an offensive slur, the line was altered so that Burns now says, "You call yourself Chinese?"

−	In the initial [[United States]] and [[Canada]] airings of the episode during the Springfield Marathon, [[Mr. Burns]] is seen whipping [[Smithers]] while he's pulling a rickshaw, chiding "You call yourself a {{W\|Chinaman}}?". Since "Chinaman" is a racial slur aimed at Chinese people, the line was censored in future re-runs, with Burns now saying, "You call yourself Chinese?".
