Are pine shavings necessary in the run?

No shavings, no straw. Just dirt and put a roof on it. Straw is NASTY. It gets wet then gets dirty and matted and begins to rot but doesn't completely then stinks...

Agree with the straw issues. I had the same experience. But unless you can keep the chicken run dirt completely dry, you will end up with mud in a rain and that is not so good.
