They do not really give the parent plant an advantage as such, as they are a method of propagation they spread the plant.
Runners enable the plant to spread far faster than they would be able to through the normal process of pollination and seed production.
Where the runner touches the soil it forms roots. The umbilical stem then rots and a new plant is growing. To Cultivate new plants for the garden peg the runner dawn at the first rosette and nip out the runner beyond, this will stop further runner growth and give you the strongest plants. If you peg the runner into a pot of compost sunk in the ground the new plant will move easier.
Strawberry plants normally propagate by sending out trailing stems called runners, which then form roots a short distance from the parent plant, and thus become a new, independent plant. Left to their own devices they can cover a fair bit of garden area in a short time.
This means it is not necessary to plant new strawberries each year, since you will have not only the original ones planted this season, but many times more next season, and more again the following season.
