| Ran down the stairs means, the DIRECTIONof running and ran downstairs means, the direction of the place of the stairs in that, he did not run the upstairs one. I think each has its own purpose. |

| He ran down stairs, up ladders, over bridges, anywhere he could! He ran downstairs to answer the phone. Both can be used, depending on context and the writer's intent. |

| Consider: John ran down stairs to get downstairs. So he ran downstairs by running down stairs. These sentences seem grammatical to me. |
