By the end of tomorrow's race, Annie will have run more than forty miles.

Explanation:

Considering the sentence structure, the speech is talking about a given race which is set in the future. This race will be done tomorrow and the speaker is talking about the possible result of what would have happened by then.

Taking the three sentences, the tense is in the future, which will make the use of the verb "run" set to be in the future tense too. So, the sentence will use the future perfect tense to show an action which will have been completed by that time. The future perfect tense of "run" is "will have run", thus making the sentence as -

"By the end of tomorrow's race, Annie will have run more than forty miles."
