Morphology
The meaning 'an organized race held for enjoyment or charity' is directly built from 'fun' (enjoyment) + 'run' (a footrace); the noun+noun compounding simply specifies the type of run. This compositional pattern is common and easily inferable, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would understand it without prior exposure.
Etymology
The phrase fun run comes from the simple idea of fun + run: imagine people running in costumes with music and families, not trying to win but enjoying themselves and often raising money together. That's why a fun run means 'a race held mainly for having fun or to raise money for charity'.
