Yes! It's a DOMS so you just need to do overall stretch before you run or do strengthening exercises. Do not stop your activities what you have been doing so far because of pain. It will aggrevate more if you do so.

Hamstring stretching
Chiropractic adjustment will help.
Towel Hamstring Stretch
Lie on the back, supporting the thigh with the hand or with a towel wrapped around it..
Slowly straighten the knee until a stretch is felt in the back of the thigh, trying to get the bottom of the foot to face the ceiling, one leg at a time.
Hold the position initially for 10 seconds, and gradually work up to 20 to 30 seconds.
Seated Hamstring Stretch
While sitting at the edge of a chair, straighten one leg in front of the body with the heel on the floor.
