Sorry. I meant I think the correct one is with the 'run'. Is it?

It is certainly the one that sounds natural to me.

I agree. So also grammatically 'run' is the correct one?

Runs is also correct because we are looking at it as a singular (as it the good looks)? Is that the reason?
So, we can see it as singular or plural?

But in the normal cases, singular should be followed by singular, and plural by plural. Is that right?
