Massage: Running should be fine, just stay well hydrated.

Not contraindicated: The point of getting a massage is to relax the muscles and help soreness. It is best to exercise prior to the massage and then rest. There is no contraindication to running after but you wont feel as great or as relaxed if you do it afterwards.
