He took me running -> sentence form?
He took me running.
In this sentence, what is the role of 'running'?

I would say it's an object complement, a noun. (For curiosity there is another interpretation, which I'm sure you don't mean, which might appear in a context like this: "He had to choose between a picture of me running, and one of another guy swimming. " In this case "running" would be a participle.
