Why didn't romeo and Juliet run away and leave their families behind?

Because they thought they'd be caught.
But even if they were caught, what could be done to them? They had committed no crime. They were properly married by a priest. Capulet had threatened Juliet that if she didn't marry Paris he would throw her out of the house and disinherit her. Why didn't she say, "OK, if you want to reach me I'll be in Mantua."
Juliet, for all her courage, just couldn't face the prospect of having to get to Romeo on her own. Imogen did it, Rosalind and Julia would have done it, but not Juliet. Juliet had spent so much of her life cloistered in her house (and the only time she ever got out of the house was to go to confession) that she just couldn't handle being in the outside world. Romeo has to take her to Mantua, because she cannot handle going there herself.

Why didnt romeo leave with mercutio and benvolio?
Friar Lawrence is a coward. He justifies marrying Romeo to Juliet by imagining that the warring families will be reconciled when they find out, but is too frightened to tell them. He gets Juliet to try a desperate scheme involving her faking her own death, but when she really needs her help, he runs off and leaves her alone with her husband's corpse, because he is afraid to be there when the police arrive, because he is afraid of explaining himself. He's the worst kind of coward.
