Well, there are many possible reasons. How long have you had your strawberry patch? Strawberries remain productive for only about 3 years, so if your plants are older than that, they will stop producing. It is best to have a 3-year rotation system. Also, do not plant new berry plants where your old ones were, they like fresh ground (or pots).
Strawberries need an open, sunny location with fertile, well-drained soil. Have you fed your little guys? They may need food!
Also, there are strawberries which are early or mid-season or late or some that keep on producing fruit all season. Do you know which you have?
Hope this helps. My best guess is that you need to feed those little guys OR that you need to trim off the extra runners.

Make sure you pinch off any runners so that the plant will not put all of its resources into making more plants. You want to channel the plant's energy into berries.

Too much nitrogen and not enough phosphorus.
If you use chemical fertilizers, get one with a higher middle number and lower first and last numbers.
Super Bloom is one

Too much nitrogen, or it is a young plant. If that is it, you'll have to wait until next year to pick fruits
