The closing unit has Goofy literally marathon-running for president, with Donald, Pluto, Chip and Dale riding "Goofy's Pace Bus," a dance crew participating in the marathon at alternating speeds based on the tempo, and Goofy, Mickey, and Minnie (and added later, Max) all riding on the Finish Line float with a giant inflatable Uncle Sam Goofy. Near the end of the parade's run, following the 1992 elections (which the unit spoofed), the unit instead featured Goofy becoming Man of the Year.
