Next time, try stopping it by pulling the small wire(s) off the starter
solenoid.  If the starter continues to run, it's a problem with the starter
and/or solenoid, not the switch or relay.

I would think the solenoid or relay are more likely culprits, but methodical
testing is the only way to be sure.  Random replacement gets so expensive
