I know hashiru means - RUN, but Rosetta Stone Japanese has a section with words ending in "..ashitane" and I do not know what exact use this form of words are used.
Example "Rokkiro hashirimashitane" I'm guessing this says something to the effect of
"I ran 6km" or "Did you run 6km?", but I am not sure.
other words like this are kaimashitane, tabemashitane, etc
I tried translation dictionaries and an online search and oddly enough when I search "hashirimashitane" there is only one result which is a link to the Rosetta Stone PDF book.
Is hashirimashitane even an actual word? Is it spelled wrong? I even tried hashirimashita NE, but still nothing.
 
hashiru: to run
hasirimasu: the polite form of "hashiru"
hashirimashita: the past form of "hashirimasu"
ne: the sentence final prticle(used for confirmation in this case)

Thus, "Rokkiro hashirimashita ne" means more likely "You ran 6km, didn't you?"

FYI,
kau --> kaimsu --> kaimashita
taberu --> tabemasu --> tabemashita
