Run''' is a song written and composed by Alan Carvell and Brian O Shea, and recorded by the Carvells in 1977 which reached number 31 in the UK charts in November of the same year. The song is about the then-new craze of Skateboarding which had crossed-over from the US to the UK that same year.

With new lyrics in Swedish by Björn Håkanson and Stefan Schröder as '''Skateboard''', Magnum Bonum scored a 1978 success with the song.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gotiskaklubben.wordpress.com/2013/09/22/latar-du-trodde-var-svenska/|title=Låtar du trodde var svenska|author=Joakim Tegblom|language=Swedish|accessdate=9 June 2013|archive-date=26 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131026075436/http://gotiskaklubben.wordpress.com/2013/09/22/latar-du-trodde-var-svenska/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
