Soap disrupts the surface tension of water. So if you have fine particles floating in water (I personally use parsley flakes, which float better than pepper does) and you put a tiny trace of soap on your finger, and then touch the water, it breaks the surface tension at that point - but the surface tension of the water on the OTHER side of the flake is unchanged. The surface tension pulls the flakes away from the soap.
So the flakes aren't running away - they are being released from the surface tension!

Why does steam in boiling kettle raises the lid?
It is like a planes wing, it causes the molecules on the top of the lid to want to "run" away from the burning steam, so they move vertically away. Some of those molecules will have some sort of slight attractive force with the lid, wether it be magnetic or so on, and if enough of them have enough attraction to the lid, then it will lift up

Is run away pepper a chemical reaction?
Runaway pepper is a chemical reaction because when you drop the detergent into the water, it reduces the cohesiveness between the water and the pepper. The soap breaks the surface tension of the water and the tension on the rest of the water pulls the floating pepper away from the soap. In other words, it reduces the pulling action on the pepper and the pepper appears to run away from the detergent. But the water around the edges (untouched by the detergent) still has its full pulling strength.[= ~ ! ~ x.Contagious.Sickness.x ~ ! ~ =]^----^(=^_^=)--->o
