Answer

Hi Slava, they are close but slightly different.  FACILITATE = organise; RUN = make sure the meeting goes smoothly.

FACILITATE is what you do to make the meeting happen.  Find a suitable date; Invite people; book a room, write an agenda; organise the seating; book the catering.

RUN is what you do at the actual meeting.  Welcome the people you have invited; introduce speakers at the meeting; show a PowerPoint slide presentation; bring in tea and coffee and lunch.

hope this helps!
