type "sh filename.run"
that'll run the file,
also learn to use the "man" command. "man -k sh" or something like that would tell you how to use it.

you can also do:

./foo.run

You may have to make the file executable first, like:

chmod +x foo.run

First u must make the .run file executable...

chmod +x filename.run

After that, just type ./filename.run to execute.

The above assumes you're in a console and is in the same directory as the file.

Cheers!
