You guys covered most of the ones I was thinking, but here are a couple other gems:

"Running On Faith" - Eric Clapton

"Running To Stand Still" - U2

"Hit The Ground Runninn" - Lonny Lang

and

"It Keeps You Running" - The Doobie Brothers

My personal favorite were already listed (Born To Run and Running Down A Dream).
