It may not be much exercise, but it has Lacey eating dust in the big race. Meanwhile, Hank takes his new crossing guard job too seriously and Oscar gets treated differently by everyone in town when he scams handicap plates for his car.
- Fun Run is the sixteenth episode of the fifth series of the series.
- "Fun Run" is the first episode of the fourth season of The Office and the 54th episode overall. It was written and directed by Greg Daniels. It first aired on September 27, 2007. It was viewed by 9.7 million people.
- The short starts off with Mordecai and Rigby doing some gardening. As Pops enjoys some company with a flock of hummingbirds while watering the rose bushes, Pops notices a man jogging by. Pops asks the duo why he's running since no one is chasing him, Mordecai responds that he's doing a fun run, just running for fun. Fascinated with this concept, Pops decides to go on a fun run himself. After getting into a jogging uniform, he inserts a cassette (Beloved Musical Jams) into a tape player, and the song "I Ran (So Far Away)" by A Flock of Seagulls begins playing over the background.

After getting into a jogging uniform, he inserts a cassette (Beloved Musical Jams) into a tape player, and the song "I Ran (So Far Away)" by A Flock of Seagulls begins playing over the background. Throughout the entire short, Pops is shown jogging all over the city, where bystanders wave him on, and the other park members perform the song in 80's attire (with their voices altered), even Eileen makes a cameo by doing an interpretive dance for just a couple seconds. Pops' jog doesn't stop, no matter how bad the weather conditions are. Pops' jog eventually begins to go on as far as out of the city, even as going as far as riding along a rainbow to see the cosmos from up above. Pops starts to get tired, but his determination motivates him, and his speed boosts up. Pops has spent so much time jogging, he eventually begins to grow a beard. By now, Pops is starting to visit some of the United States' most famous landmarks, which include the Statue of Liberty, the Grand Canyon, and Mount Rushmore. Eventually, people begin to jog along with Pops. Pops arives to a pier, where a flock of seagulls (not the band) pick up Pops, and carry him away much to the awe of the joggers. Pops' clothes can be seen ripping off his body. With Pops gone in the distance, the joggers leave. The short ends with the heads of the park workers staring into the distance, still in their band attire, ending the song, and the short.
