Answer:

Verb

Explanation:

A verb is one of the parts of speech in English language. Verbs can be defined as any word that describes an action, occurrence, or state of existence. Some examples of verb are dance, sing, walk, play, run, sit, etc.

In this context, the part of speech which the capital word (RUN) in the sentence above represents is a verb because it's a doing word and simply means a distance to be covered as a race such as a marathon.

Answer:

Noun

Explanation:

The word run can be a noun, verb, or adjective. Since the word run is the subject of the sentence, you know it must be a noun. In this case they aren't saying they are running which eliminates the verb and they aren't describing something that is running which is the adjective which leaves us with a noun. The "4-mile" is the adjective.
