"Run with Us" is the end theme song for the 1980s television series The Raccoons. It was written by Kevin Gillis, Jon Stroll and Steve Lunt.

The song was originally recorded by Steve Lunt for the first season in 1985 but was later covered by and is more associated with Lisa Lougheed and included on her first album Evergreen Nights, as well as being heard at the end of every Raccoons episode from the second season until the series ended in 1991. The song featured in several episodes of the series.[1][2] Lunt's version is set to be released in a remastered form from the original tapes alongside a remaster of Lougheed's cover as part of the show's 40th anniversary.[3]
