Program name
When the show was first announced, it was known as "跑男" or "Running Man" in Chinese.

But, before the official name changed, ZRTG had registered "跑男" as a trademark with the SAIC.Episode style
撕名牌 or "Name-tag Elimination" is one of the main game of each episode and is usually the longest game. There are also many games played by the MCs and guests that often contribute to their result for the final mission.The team that wins the final mission will receive a prize, usually related with the theme for the episode. However, even if a team wins most of the games, victory is not guaranteed.
