When the show was first announced, it was known as "跑男" or "Running Man" in Chinese. Programs on the Zhejiang TV channel required names with five Chinese characters (words),[4] hence the program was then renamed to "奔跑吧兄弟" or "Hurry Up, Brother". But, before the official name changed, ZRTG had registered "跑男" as a trademark with the SAIC.[5]
撕名牌 or "Name-tag Elimination" is one of the main games 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 to the theme of the episode. However, even if a team wins most of the games, victory is not guaranteed (for example in Season 1 Episode 2, Deng Chao did not win many games but the other teams who had won did not make the right choices of switching the waters, therefore causing their team to win).
Cast
The original members of Running Man are Deng Chao, Angelababy, Li Chen, Chen He, Zheng Kai, Wong Cho-lam, and Wang Baoqiang.
After season 1, Wang Baoqiang recorded his last episode and left the program to focus on his career but returned on season 3, episode 10 as a guest.
In season 2, Bao Bei'er replaced Wang Baoqiang but left at the end of the season as he was cast in Stephen Chow's Journey to the West II.

If more than one set of teams are used other than the Race Mission teams, they are divided and distinguished to the corresponding mission under Teams. Team members are listed in alphabetical order from Team Leader to Members, to Guests. As some episodes consisted of road missions and were not confined to a single landmark nor was a landmark officially recognized on-air, the landmark shown for those episodes is the final mission venue.
