Continue for too long (7)

I believe the answer is:

overrun

(Other definitions for overrun that I've seen before include "Exceed time allowed - or conquer territory." , "Go on too long (of a performance)" , "area beyond end of airstrip" , "Flood" , "Swamp (an area)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
