How to delete the word after a regular expression

Example:

Lucas RUNCYCLE Rule1 Astigmatism
Robot RUNCYCLE Rule2 Jack RUNCYCLE Calendar1 June
Lucy RUNCYCLE Exception4 Fear RUNCYCLE Calendar5 August


In this example, how can I delete the next after the expression RUNCYCLE? (i.e. Rule1, Rule2, Calendar1, Exception1, Calendar5)

I'm thinking of awk and/or sed but I can't figure out how to exactly do it. BTW, I'm programming in Korn shell.

Thanks in advance.

NAME
split - split a file into pieces SYNOPSIS
split [ option ... ] [ file ] DESCRIPTION
Split reads file (standard input by default) and writes it in pieces of 1000 lines per output file. The names of the output files are xaa, xab, and so on to xzz. The options are -n Split into n-line pieces. -e expression File divisions occur at each line that matches a regular expression; see regexp(6). Multiple -e options may appear. If a subex- pression of expression is contained in parentheses (...), the output file name is the portion of the line which matches the subex- pression. -f stem Use stem instead of x in output file names. -s suffix Append suffix to names identified under -e. -x Exclude the matched input line from the output file. -i Ignore case in option -e; force output file names (excluding the suffix) to lower case.
