It gives the preposition 'naar' a meaning of motion, i.e. She ran to(wards) him.
The "to" in the English sentence indicates that she is running towards him, which in Dutch is "naar toe"
"Zij rent aan hem" does not mean anything, "Zij rent toe hem" as well as it needs "naar", "Zij rent tegen hem" would be "She runs against him." in a competitive way, or if you say "Zij rent tegen hem aan" it means "She runs into him" (literally colliding).
Why can't I use hardlopen (zij hardloopt) in place of rennen or lopen?
