500-Yard Gash is an episode of Happy Tree Friends.
Plot
Flippy and Flaky are running in a race at a track meet. Just before the race starts, Flippy surreptitiously injects Flaky with steroids. As Flaky runs, he looks at her arms and notices herself bulking up. Then, feeling much faster and stronger, she turns on the speed, literally running circles around Flippy. Flaky then runs straight through a wall, leaves the stadium, and circles the earth several times before she re-enters the stadium and runs along the track for the last stretch of the race. Flaky passes Flippy and heads for the finish line. However, the exertion takes its toll on Flaky, and her heart explodes. Flaky collapses just before the finish line and Flippy wins the race. In the final scene, Flippy is on the #1 step of the winners' platform, holding a trophy and Flaky's head. Flaky's decapitated body is on the #2 step.
