# Keep Running (TV program)

Keep Running (Chinese: 奔跑吧; pinyin: Bēnpǎo Ba), previously known as Running Man China, or Hurry Up, Brother (Chinese: 奔跑吧兄弟; pinyin: Bēnpǎo Ba Xiōngdì) before 2017, is a Chinese variety show broadcast on ZRTG: Zhejiang Television. It is a spin-off from the popular original South Korean variety show Running Man by SBS. It was first aired on 10 October 2014. The show is classified as a game-variety show, where the MCs and guests complete missions at a landmark to win a race.
The program has itself also been spun-off into a supplemental show, named Running Man Is Coming (Chinese: 跑男来了; pinyin: Pǎonán Láile). It is hosted by Shen Tao (Chinese: 沈涛; pinyin: Shěn Tāo), Luo Xi (Chinese: 罗希; pinyin: Luó Xī), and/or "Jenny" Lin Jieni (Chinese: 林杰妮; pinyin: Lín Jiénī). The show typically centers around secondary footage of Keep Running episodes, behind-the-scenes clips, or even the conclusion or final outcomes of a Keep Running episode that is too long to fit into the original broadcast time slot.

## Program name

When the show was first announced, it was known as "跑男" (pinyin: Pǎo Nán) or "Running Man" in Chinese. Programs on the Zhejiang TV channel required names with five Chinese characters (words), 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.
The supplemental show "跑男来了" continues to retain the "跑男" moniker in its title.

## Episode style

撕名牌 (pinyin: Sī Míngpái) or "Name-tag Elimination" (lit. 'name-tag ripping' or 'name-tag tearing') 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).

## Personnel

The original members of Running Man are Deng Chao, Angelababy, Li Chen, Chen He, Zheng Kai, Wong Cho-lam, and Wang Baoqiang.

### Production staff

The chief production director (PD) is Yao Yitian, who is often referred to on the show by his nickname "Yao PD". His voice is typically the one heard during interactions between cast members and the production crew. He has also at various times been featured on-camera during the show, such as during the last episode of Season 9, "Cast members vs. Production team", where he was nominated by the cast members to be one of the production team members to undergo the final "giant water bomb" punishment if the cast members were able to beat the production team, and episode 8 of Season 10, where he was pulled on-camera by one of the teams to be their extra helper during one of the games.
The announcer and provider of most of the voice-overs is He Yannan (Chinese: 何雁南; pinyin: Hé Yànnán), who is a radio host for Zhejiang Radio and Television Group and also provides voice-over for various other Zhejiang Television programs, such as The Voice of China.
