Run is een nummer van de alternatieve rock en voormalig indieband Snow Patrol. Het nummer werd als tweede single van het derde studioalbum Final Straw uitgebracht. Het nummer zorgde voor de definitieve doorbraak in de mainstream. De Britse zangeres Leona Lewis heeft het nummer gecoverd en bracht haar interpretatie van Run ook uit op single. Na het succes van Just Say Yes, de leadsingle van het compilatiealbum Up to Now, besloot het label Run als de tweede (overall derde) single van het compilatiealbum uit te brengen, zeven jaar na de originele uitgave. Het nummer werd door Radio 538 tot Alarmschijf gekozen.
