"Here's what Rising Artists" had to say about it:

Marathon” by Alex Slay is the definition of smooth. With clear, debonair vocals, casually cool horn lines, and a few tasty R&B guitar licks, this song oozes finesse. Not to mention, Clover Jamez’s verse provides the perfect tonal balance. Listening to this song will make you feel suave, confident, and honestly pretty relaxed.
