You can create a directory/file style/mydoc.el next to your tex document
mydoc.tex with the following contents.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(TeX-add-style-hook
 "minted"
 (lambda ()
   (LaTeX-add-environments '("runninglist" LaTeX-env-item)))
 LaTeX-dialect)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then, after typing `C-c C-n' in the corresponding tex buffer (or simply
kill and reopen that file), `C-c C-e runninglist' should behave as if
you were inserting a normal itemize or enumerate environment, i.e., add
the environment and its first item.
