Race to Run Lyrics

We’re all different, but the same
Sharing our victories, sharing our pain
Everyone is up to the task
Don’t have to be strong, don’t have to be fast
 
So tell me what you’re gonna do about it
Cos there’s a positive message and we can shout it
We can all make a change one step at a time
Cos everyone’s in
 
Never give up, never back down
Doesn’t matter where you’re from
We’ve all got a race to run
We’ve all got a race to run
Around the world stand together as one
We’ve all got a race to run
We’ve all got a race to run
 
Who knows what you can achieve
Don’t have to be scared just have to believe
No matter what we face
We’re stronger together running this race
 
So tell me what you’re gonna do about it
Cos there’s a positive message and we can shout it
We can all make a change one step at a time
Cos everyone’s in
 

What is the One World Marathon? 

One World Strong Foundation embodies the core principles of connection and co-operation, supporting the belief that people around the world should work together toward common goals. To reinforce that message, we’ve proposed a marathon, where teams of participants from around the world will combine their efforts to achieve a total of 26.2 miles (or 42.195km) over a weekend. Participants apply and sign-up for a distance they will contribute on the event dates.
