When someone runs (or stumbles) across the highway, disregarding any and all traffic, instead of using a crosswalk.

“Jesus, that moron almost got hit doing the Rutland Run to get to Dunkin Donuts!”
“Damn I really don’t feel like going to the crosswalk, I think I’m just gonna Rutland Run it”

The Australian version of having a train ran on you, IE two Aussie studs punishing one girls clam bake.
I met these two bro studs at the pub last night, after a few drinks they asked if they could run a tram on me back at their place.

Roughly 6 hours after eating at a restaurant that cooks with excessive amounts of butter, you wake up with pain and cold sweats, thus having to penguin walk to the toilet so as not soil the bed, and then cracking the porcelain. Think Harry Dunn from 'Dumb and Dumber' turbolax scene.
Holy hell, I had the butter runs in the middle of the night after eating at that hibachi restaurant. I feel sorry for the toilet.

To run the gauntlet is when you take on a very risky task which may result in injury, physical or verbal abuse, ridicule or shame. It can sometimes be played as a dare or challenge especially after consuming a large quantity of alcohol. If all goes wrong the consequences can be quite brutal to either yourself, someone else or a business or organisation i.e loss of a busineses reputation or a significant fall from grace. However, if all goes right then it installs a sense of pride and relief, though regardless of the result it will be a lesson learned and the task will never be repeated.
1) When playing spin the bottle and someone chooses the dare and thay have to run the gauntlet through a busy shopping centre in their birthday suit, without being caught.
2) When a company director has to face the board of shareholders and has to explain why the company is failing and what he/she/they are going to about it:
Colleague: "the shareholders are ready to see you now"
Director: "right! time to run the gauntlet, wish me luck!"

Kate was supposed to write a sentence for her homework but she wrote a whole page. Guess you could say she likes to run the jog.
