The top flange has an outer periphery and is formed on the top of the tubular body. The through holes are defined through the top flange and arranged in a circle. The connectors are connected to the tubular body of the runner. Each connector has a main body and a resilient strap connected to the main body and having a bottom provided with a hook engaging with one of the through holes in the top flange of the runner. With such an arrangement, the umbrella runner assembly is easily and conveniently assembled.
