The Start Line Prayer
THE START LINE PRAYER
WORDS BY OLIVIA MULLIGAN
Our Mountain Race, which unfolds through Kilburn,
Honoured by thy hills;
Thy runners come;
Thy training is done
On dirt as it is off road.
Give us this day our daily strength.
And forgive us our weaknesses,
As we forgive legs that tend to mock us.
And lead us not into temptation
– the temptation of giving in.
For this is our race,
Our power, our glory,
For ever and always.
Amen.
