Sure, you can use whatever runner you want.

There is a runner timeout that is used whenever it's smaller than the
project/job timeout. 3h is probbaly the default runner timeout.

https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/runners/configure_runners/#set-the-maximum-job-timeout

There is an existing support request to raise this timeout, and we'll
get to it at some point. If you are in a hurry and can't wait, you can
probably just use your own private runner.
