Soundmagic's E30 loops behind the ear which will keep it from falling off while running. You can take a look at that. It is in your budget and according to some, the best IEM in its price range. But it has a neutral sound signature.

You can also look at Signature Acoustics C12. It is a good pair. And though it is designed to be worn normally, you can loop it behind the ear if you want to. This one is a bit heavy on the low end and the bass is clear and punchy. You will like it. (I own this one).

You can refer to this thread created by me last month :
