Run Buddy, stylized as "run buddy", is a single map for Boom by Michael Krause released in April 1998. It is listed as one of the Top 100 WADs of All Time by Doomworld. Its notability is in the large scale of its architecture and liberal use of open spaces, which contributed to slowdown issues due to REJECT inefficiencies. A "fast" version using RMB to calculate the REJECT was released in May 1998.
Run Buddy was featured in Doomworld's Top 100 Most Memorable Maps, placing 86th.

Secrets[edit]
- In the far southwest corner of the map, use the lift to go up to the area with two silos, then go north to the computer terminal. Lower it to reach the upper reaches of this area. (sector 56)
- In the same area with two silos, go around to the west side of the southern silo. Open this silo from the western side to find an arch-vile guarding boxes of rockets and stimpacks. (sector 109)
- In the same corner of the map mentioned in the previous secrets is a broken lift. Make your way to the upper hallway in this area (you can use the teleporter in the water for reference), and go around to the top of the broken lift. Run off the hallway above the broken lift and run straight north, through to the open hallway where you can get a megaarmor. (sector 135)
