Runner (englisch-amerikan., spr. rönner, »Läufer«), Leute, die gewerbs- und gewohnheitsmäßig die einkommenden Seeleute zur Desertion (s. d.) veranlassen. Gegen die Folgen dieses Treibens sucht die Seemannsordnung dadurch zu schützen, daß nach § 90 der Kapitän die Sachen der Schiffsleute, solange das Schiff im Hafen oder auf der Reede liegt, in Verwahrung nehmen darf. Vgl. Loafer.
