Grammar

catch/get

The bus departure time was "1 p.m.", and we get off home only at 12.50 p.m., so we had to ran to catch/get the train.

Can I use the word `catch' and `get' alternatively in this context?

I got it. It should be "to run". Am I right?

So the sentence becomes "I had to run to catch/get the train".

Yes, now the sentence is perfect.
