A marble will roll on a shallow back-and-forth ramp for many minutes, if the friction is low. T
Also, dropping a marble through a tall column of viscous fluid (like corn syrup) will keep it moving for at least that long.
Of couse, if the marble appears to sit still on the tabletop, it is actually moving with the earth as it turns at 900 miles per hour!

Glue a marble to a 3 foot piece of string, with a thumb tack on the other end of the string, .
Hang it from the ceiling, .
Give it a good push , it will swing like a pendulum for a long time before stopping
Just like a ramp but less friction.
Use a large marble and some thin thread.

Make a U shape track like in a skateboard park and let it roll down from the top at one end.
