It would be great to know at what degree of knee bending you hear your knee click
Why does that matter ? It helps me in advising you what degree of knee flexion or extension you can avoid so you won't provoke the knee
Also , what kind of a runner are you? Marathon, Sprinter ? Helps me to understand the cause of the problem.
Now , why is there a clicking sound ? Could be ligament laxity , muscle weakness etc
Next Steps
What can you do ?
Stabilize ( the knee )before you mobilize ( the knee) .
Health Tips
Start training your Quadriceps as it helps stabilize the knee cap
Start with isometrics for the knee joint and gradually move to weight training .
Happy Recovery Runner !

As per your complaint and age it's not an issue , being a runner must do proper warm up before u do any activity and followed by cool down phase after you finish your activities.
Better you wear normal knee supports during activities to maintain proper alignment of your knees; due to uneven surfaces or bad roads may hinder your activity.
Next Steps
knee cap mobilizations:
Sit on couch ,straighten your leg , hold knee cap and move it upward downward and left to right for 20 times daily 3 times. It will release tension in surrounding muscles.
Health Tips
Expose to sunlight early morning before 7am for vitamin D .Have healthy diet.
