Shut off the water valve behind the toilet first! Then check the flapper and fill valve inside the tank. Those are the usual culprits for running toilets. Replacements are cheap and easy to find at hardware stores. Good luck!

Check the flapper valve and the float mechanism in the tank for any issues like leaks or misalignments, and adjust or replace them if necessary to restore proper functionality and stop the continuous running.
