Run columns included the following: •
Magic, perhaps the magazine's most distinctive feature, was a collection of short programs, programming tips, and tricks, mostly submitted by readers. Several dozen were published each month, and they were all numbered in
hexadecimal, with each issue's numbering taking over where the last one had left off. Readers could write to
Magic at P.O. Box 101011, a box number chosen for its binary appearance. Often, a "special issue" published at the end of the year would collect the year's
Magic entries and augment them with many unpublished ones. This column, created and compiled by Louis F. Sander, debuted in the first issue and was run during the entire life of the magazine. •
Mega-Magic was a monthly column that included type-in programming utilities larger and more powerful than those in the standard Magic columns. •
Commodore Clinic, a letters column, allowed users to write in with questions about hardware and software issues, which would then be answered in the magazine. •
Run Amok was an errata column that published corrections to previous type-in programs and articles. •
Software Gallery reviewed various commercial software packages. •
128 Mode, taken over from Commodore's own magazine when it was purchased by
Run, included programming advice and short type-ins for the
Commodore 128. •
Gold Mine was another Louis F. Sander column taken over from Commodore's magazine. It featured tips and tricks for commercial games. ==Contributors==
