Rust does have a runtime (used for tasks and GC'd types amongst others), the runtime can be disabled and the standard library is being split between "requires runtime" and "does not require runtime" (with as much as possible being moved to the latter).
It's incorrect to say that Rust does not have a runtime, but it's correct to say that runtime-less Rust is very much a first-class concern for the project.
PS: note that C does have a runtime as well, if a very minimal one.
