I would be very surprised if Harper did not run in the next election. He's only 53 years old and even though he's been PM for 8+ years, this is only his first majority government. I don't think he's ready to retire yet. He still has a lot of things he wants to accomplish... ie. Senate reform, healthcare reform, still a lot of work to be done on the immigration/refuge portfolio, etc.
