Akebia can spread by - well, not exactly runners but it will sometimes
creep along the ground surreptitiously.  I've seen it go under the grass
and pop up a ways away.  If it doesn't have enough climbing space, it will
sort of become a "lump" at the top of the trellis in the same way some
Clematis will.
