Story

Now this is a story all about how,

Two friends decided to run the town.

They laced up their shoes, no time to tarry,

Ran a half marathon just for the charity!

Somerset House, where it all began,

Training every morning, with a water can.

Chasing that dream, mile after mile,

Sweat on their brows but always in style.

(Chorus)

Run, run, for a cause so neat,

Stomping our feet, to that heart-beat.

Half marathon vibes, feeling so merry,

All for the love and that sweet charity!

(Verse 2)

Got a playlist poppin’, with beats so fresh,

Wind in their hair, and a brand-new mesh.

Crowds by the side, cheering them on,

With every step, fatigue’s gone.

Hills were steep, the sun blazed high,

But the goal in mind, kept their spirits nigh.

One friend turned to the other and said,

“We got this man, push ahead!”

(Bridge)

Cooling stations, every mile or so,

Grabbing water, a little sip, then go.

Children waving, holding signs so tall,

“Run for hope!” They uplifted all.

(Chorus)

Run, run, for a cause so neat,

Stomping our feet, to that heart-beat.

Half marathon vibes, feeling so merry,

All for the love and that sweet charity!

(Verse 3)

The finish line, almost in sight,

Energy waning, but they held tight.

Crossed it together, hands held up high,

For the cause, for the sky!

Medals on their necks, shining so bright,

A testament to their will, their fight.

Tired but fulfilled, on this special day,

Running for a cause, in a major way.

(Outro)

So next time you see two friends on the track,

Remember this tale, of the duo, no looking back.

For charity they ran, hearts full and heavy,

The Fresh Marathon Duo, always ready!
