The idiom "on the run" originated in the late 19th century and originally referred to a criminal or fugitive who was fleeing from the authorities. The phrase has since been used more broadly to describe anyone who is trying to avoid being caught or detected, whether or not they are actually breaking the law. It is typically used to describe a situation where someone is moving quickly and trying to avoid detection or capture. It can be used in both formal and informal contexts.
