When you run, oxygen demand increases greatly. This increase makes your heart beat faster which in turn makes you gasp/take big breaths.

You breath heavy after running a race because your heart rate speeds up. Your body is working hard to keep up with you and your mind, therefore, causing your heart rate to speed up.
