Rather than (run / ran / running)

I’ve found the passage below.

Is ‘run’ following ‘Rather than’ correct? How about ‘Rather than ran’ or ‘Rather than running?’


Hoping to gain another medal, Meghan then took part in the 3,200-meter event. Only 20 meters from the finish line, she was about to pass a rival runner when the rival suddenly collapsed on the track. Rather than run by her opponent, Meghan stopped, pulled her up, and helped her to get the finish line.
