The answer to the riddle is a clock. A clock has hands that indicate the time but does not have feet. It "runs" in the sense that it continuously keeps time throughout the day.
A broken clock is correct twice a day. This is because a clock with hands that are stuck will still display the correct time at least twice a day when the hour and minute hands align with the correct time.

The hands of a clock are perpendicular to each other 22 times in a 12-hour period. This occurs because the minute hand moves faster than the hour hand, creating perpendicular positions approximately every 65.45 minutes. Therefore, in a full day (24 hours), the hands of the clock are perpendicular 44 times.
