They didn't run away.
Caesar Augustus wanted a tax his people, so he ordered all the people to go to the city they were born in, so they traveled to Bethlehem. While they were there, Mary went in to labor, and Jesus was born in the little stable.
Luke 2:
(1)And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. (2)(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) (3)And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.(4)And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David) (5)To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

What happened to Mary and Joseph after Jesus was crucified?
After Jesus was crucified, Mary and Joseph are not mentioned much in the Bible. It is believed that Mary lived with the apostle John in Ephesus and Joseph likely passed away before Jesus' crucifixion.
What was the role of Joseph the husband of Mary?
In Matthew's Gospel, Joseph considered putting Mary away privily (privately) to avoid the embarrassment of being cuckolded, but an angel came to him in a dream. In Luke's Gospel, the angel had already appeared to Mary and forewarned her of the impending event, so there was no reason for Joseph to consider putting Mary away privily.
Why was Joseph the father of Jesus?
It's not known what happened to Joseph. He is present at the Temple when Jesus astounded the scholars in Luke 2:41-52, but since Mary is described at the crucifixion and the post-ascension scene in Acts 1 by herself, it's thought he had died somewhere between. It's unlikely he would fall away after seeing and experience similar things that Mary had. Jude and James talked about in 1 Cor. 15 and Galatians 2 as being the "brothers of the Lord," are thought to be His half-brothers, by a second husband after Joseph. That would put Joseph's death somewhere between A.D. 11-29.

She said to them, "They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him."14 Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus.15 Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away."16 Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned and said to him in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means Teacher).17 Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord"---and that he had said these things to her.

Why is Saint Joseph considered a saint?
St. Joseph accepted the responsibility of raising Jesus and supporting and caring for his wife, the Blessed Virgin Mary. Before they were married, Joseph learned that Mary was with child and he knew it could not be his. He could have walked away at that time and had nothing to do with Mary. However, in a dream it was revealed to him that Mary was pregnant by the Holy Spirit and had not had relations with another man. From that day he took Mary as his wife and did everything to assure he was a good father to Jesus.
