'shoot' is the definition.
(plant shoot that goes along the ground)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for runner that I've seen before include "A foot racer or a creeping step" , "Branch from the base of plant that produces new plants" , "Sprinter" , "Kind of bean for an athlete" , "Viable idea" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
