None of them is a run-on sentence.
- Sentence 1 uses a semicolon correctly to join two related independent clauses.
- Sentence 2 is a complex sentence: the clause introduced by "because" is subordinate, so the clauses are properly connected.
- Sentence 3 correctly joins two independent clauses with a comma + coordinating conjunction ("so").
