On The Run is the third level of the first chapter of EDF: Insect Armageddon. Strike Force Lightning (the players' characters) are forced to pull back to safety as Ravagers begin to bomb the area to reduce Human resistance.

It is the first level in the game to feature Spiders, Gunships, and Carriers, although the latter is invincible and does not act like later carriers found throughout the game. The next level, Ditchslap, takes place in a different segment of the map, beginning where On The Run leaves off.
