To translate we need context. What kind of chaser and runner? Police-style? Race-style? Hunting-style?
There are a billion different uses of "no." The one in your case is linking two nouns together—you can't always just squeeze two together in Japanese and have it be grammatical. In your "jikan no tsuiseki,"
jikan = time
tsuiseki = chase/pursuit
no = noun linker
Together, you basically have "the pursuit of time."
I honestly can't tell you if it even makes sense in Japanese, though. It's such a weird concept that I daren't help further.
