The Long Run

The Long Run is the twenty-second track in Halo: Original Soundtrack.

Overview
The piece is almost entirely percussive, with a few synth sounds in the background, which seems to resemble the John-117 running. This makes it very similar to Drumrun. It consists of a repetitive drumroll which is designed to underscore the nature of the escape and to make the player feel a sense of urgency.

Appearances
The soundtrack can be heard:
 * In the level The Silent Cartographer, when John-117 has deactivated the security facility of the island, and fights through a group of Stealth Sangheili.
 * In the level Assault on the Control Room chapter "Rolling Thunder", when John-117 rides through the tunnels of Installation 04 in a M808B Scorpion.
 * In the level 343 Guilty Spark (level), when John-117 activates the bridge that leads to the last elevator inside the underground structure.
 * In the level The Library, when 343 Guilty Spark leaves John-117 at a locked door on the second floor to reset the backup unit for a drone control subsystem.
 * In the level Two Betrayals, at exactly the same point along the backwards journey through the same area, in the large room after the blast door which explodes on opening.
 * In the level The Maw, when John-117 destroys the last fusion reactor in engineering and runs to the elevator to escape UNSC Pillar of Autumn.

Arrangements
The track was arranged into Marathon Sprint in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary: Original Soundtrack.
