The way I rule it is that you can only run once per turn, no matter how many
actions you have. In your other actions, you can walk but not run. When you
run, you move in the combat phase in which your action falls, and arrive
where you want to go at the same time (I know, this is almost teleporting
but it eases the question of who is where a bit).
Anyone shooting at the character between the action in which he ran and his
next action gets the running target modifier.
