Run caps are found in AC induction motors fed by a single phase power
source, whether electronic or not. If you have an actual multi-phase
power source (3 phase mains or a multi-phase motor controller) then
there is no run cap.
Are nonpolar electrolytics uncommon? Seems to me that one major use is
in audio crossovers for the "make it louder" crowd.
Here's a 100 uF, 100V one from All Electronics for about a buck and a half.

They're in most distributors' catalogs--just look for "non polar capacitor.
