It really depends on the type of ankle surgery. Most healing timeframes are 6 months to a year after surgery for full return to normal activity.
This will depend on what procedure is performed. I recommend you discuss further with the surgeon who will do the surgery.
There are many kinds of ankle surgery and the time until you can run ranges from a few days to a year depending on the surgery.  You need to ask your surgeon for the answer to your question.
That is up to your surgeon, and depends on what kind of surgery you have had
