In the Justice League Unlimited season two finale, Wally West's run around the goddamn planet to build up enough momentum to punch through the merged Luthor-Brainiac being's armor. Bonus points for doing it multiple times and being nearly permanently sucked into the Speed Force as a result.
For the math geeks: he runs around the planet 9 times (though he only delivers 8 hits) in 42 seconds, averaging at about 4.9 million km/h. That's about 3 million mph for Americans and around 46 times faster than Earth's orbital speed.

In Torchwood, there are two chase scenes in the same episode, between the prime witness in an investigation into a strange alien artifact and first Gwen then Owen. Gwen nearly gets him the first time, getting his hoodie and the artifact, and Owen corners him after a chase through several gardens. The second chase scene is on youtube.

Star Trek (2009): Chekov is the only one who can operate the transporter well enough to save Kirk and Sulu when they fall off Nero's drill, so he runs through the Enterprise, shouting "I can do that!" at the top of his lungs.
In Star Trek Into Darkness Kirk and Scotty run through the Enterprise's corridors to reach the warp core as the ship's gravity fluctuates and debris crashes around them.

In the iPhone app Zombies, Run!, you - yes, you - have to do this. And we don't mean virtually, either; the app is a cross between a fitness app, a game, and a radio play so you have to run in Real Life to further the plot and complete your mission.

In Turning Red, when Mei runs away from school after transforming to a red panda during math class, Ming follows in her car. When the street is blocked by damage done inadvertently by panda-Mei, Ming leaves her car, takes off her high-heeled shoes, slides across the hood of another stranded car, and runs barefoot the rest of the way home, zigzagging along streets and through side alleys, and running fast enough that she gets there only a minute or two after Mei (who took a more direct route across the rooftops) did.

In RedDwarf, the episode Out of Time ends with Lister, Cat and Kryten all killed by their own corrupted future selves. With only a minute left before Starbug breaks apart completely and only Kryten's last words ("There may be a...") to hold onto, Rimmer snatches up a bazookoid and charges into the rapidly disintegrating engine room, even taking a support beam landing on him, just so he can destroy the time machine that caused all this in some faint hope he can save everyone.

Gallipoli: During the assault at Nek, Frank is assigned to act as message runner for Major Barton. First he makes a dash under enemy fire to General Gardener's HQ to tell how the Australian forces are being cut down. The general tells Frank that he is reconsidering the attack. Frank sprints back to convey this news, but the phone lines are repaired and Colonel Robinson orders the attack to continue. Frank arrives seconds too late and lets out a scream of anguish and despair.

The Sonic the Hedgehog series heavily features this trope. Unsurprising, given the title character's name and what that name implies. It could even be said that the series' gameplay is built on this...aside from some infamous exceptions.

A particularly awesome example during the climax of Mission: Impossible III, when Ethan (Tom Cruise) needs to sprint about 16 blocks to save his wife. No stunts or SFX, just several straight minutes of Cruise flooring it at stunning speeds down busy streets and across rooftops on his own. Every Mission Impossible since has featured a scene of Cruise running at full speed somewhere.

Benji:
Happens in For the Love of Benji when Benji sees Cindy being held at gun point, complete with slow-motion effect.
Briefly (without the slow motion) in Benji the Hunted when Benji rushes back to shield the cubs from an eagle attack.
Also happens in Benji Off the Leash. Lizard Tongue (a stray dog Benji has befriended) is about to be shot,and freezes in terror, so Benji races over/straight into him and knocks him out the way.

Doctor Who: Many examples. Starting from Three — but especially Four — the Doctor does an awful lot of running. It eventually gets lampshaded by the Companions who are forced to run along with him. "There's an awful lot of running involved."
The Tenth Doctor runs all the way across the Library and down to the core of the world to save River Song.
The Eleventh Doctor tries to run across Upper Leadworth in "Amy's Choice," but the Dream Lord makes him fall asleep.

In Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons, Hippolyta is ordered to leave an unwanted baby girl in the wilderness and after realizing she can't just leave the infant girl to die, Hippolyta dashes back to the river to find it and when she can't, she keeps running for what the narration says are months on end. All in a vein hope of being able to rescue the child. An entire double page spread being shown depicting the progress of the run.

The last few minutes of the WWII POW escape movie Von Ryan's Express has the eponymous 'von' Ryan (actually a discipline-minded U.S. Army Air Force officer) running along the train tracks as the train he and his fellow prisoners hijacked trundles towards Switzerland and safety. Ryan doesn't make it.

The Horse and His Boy has one of these (albeit on horseback) as a major plot thread. The evil army is coming and the good guys must be warned in time.
Becomes a literal run for Shasta near the end of the book as Aravis is injured and the Horses have used all their strength but they still haven't reached the good guys to warn them. Shasta isn't pleased, but runs the entire rest of the way and manages to save Archenland from the greatest danger it would ever face and reunite with his family in the bargain.

Jason's Lyric: By the time his friend, Rat, informs him that his brother, Joshua, is going to kill his girlfriend, Lyric, and her brother, Alonzo, Jason immediately rushes to her house. After their car is stopped by an oncoming train, Jason decides to get off his car, runs across the speeding train and races up to save her. Despite Joshua (accidentally) shoots Lyric, thankfully she survives after Jason immediately takes her to the ambulance. Jason and Lyric eventually earn their ultimate wish: to be together after leaving their pasts behind.

Used in the season 2 finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, when Buffy realizes that she's been chasing a Red Herring and takes off running at full clip... and the fact that she's still too late to save Kendra is underscored by the camera slamming into slow motion as she gets back to the school.

Subverted twice in the original Firefly pilot. Simon has just been told by Mal that Kaylee has died (meaning he's failed to save her after he let her get shot), and he takes off at a dead run to the infirmary. When he gets there, instead of a dead Kaylee, he finds her alive and giggling at something Book's just said. Simon angrily calls Mal "psychotic". Irony cut to Mal, Zoe, Jayne, and Wash on the bridge, laughing their asses off at the prank and Wash calling Mal "psychotic."

The Lord of the Rings:
When Boromir is attacked by the Uruk-Hai in The Fellowship of the Ring at Amon Hen, he runs from them and blows the Horn of Gondor, causing Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli to all run toward him.
A better example is the heroic run that Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli do to try to rescue Pippin and Merry in The Two Towers. They run for days after the orcs, only to get intercepted by the exiled Rohirrim.
