If you were going to do a really *small* run I'd say sure it's not a big issue. Or use earth anchors, theyre not that big a deal to install, you just screw them in with something long to use as a 'jack handle' so to speak.
Honestly though it is really not difficult to construct a proper fence...

Being made of 2-3" mesh rather than hardwarecloth (hardwarecloth has significantly higher wind resistance); also usually over time the bottom rail of kennel panels gets kind of grown into the turf.
I *have* seen kennels blown awry though.
I mean, do what you want, I'm just warning you...
Do I really have to place the post in the ground?
If the run will be teeny tiny (like maybe 4x8 or not *much* bigger than that), you can just anchor it down by other means. If you have EXTREMELY difficult soil, like you're on solid rock shelf and *can't* dig postholes, it is possible to skip...
