Assuming that this is a CentOS 7 system, /var/run is just a link to /run, which 
is a tmpfs filesystem.  No files there survive a reboot.m

If you need directories to be automatically created, you’ll need to use 
systemd-tmpfiles.  Basically, the packages put files in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/, 
and you’d add your own in /etc/tmpfiles.d/.  

For example, fail2ban has:

$ cat /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/fail2ban.conf
D /var/run/fail2ban 0755 root root -

Read the ‘tmpfiles.d’ man page for more details.
