List of missions

Road races/Themed races

Notes

1. The Mission Team and Chasing Team swap roles every ten minutes until all members of the opposing team are eliminated.
2. Gary and Song Ji-hyo are spies of the opposing team.
3. The real siblings (Mission Team) is unknown and wins by finding each other and placing their name tags on the "DNA Verification Station". The rest of the members (Chasing Team) must eliminates the siblings, and whoever places their name tags on the "DNA Verification Station" wins. Members may eliminate each other if they believe they are the siblings.
4. The chaser is the single member without a partner from the lottery. The couples are eliminated if their paper handcuffs are broken. The chaser cannot be eliminated, but is paused instead when their name tag is taken.
5. The Traitors Club cannot eliminate the detectives.
6. The male members cannot take off name tags. If a name tag of a male member is taken by a kumiho, he is bewitched and becomes a part of her team. One tail is given to the kumiho who eliminates a kumiho.
7. The episode start with the Running Man members already being ranked from 1 to 7, according to their debutant in the entertainment industry. After several games played, the final ranking was determined and they all get gold coins depending on their ranking on each round. All of them went in a pirate ship, only to be robbed with all their gold coins by the pirates. They stayed there over night since they were also kidnapped. Next morning, the pirates (Shinhwa) appeared.
8. One member of each team is unknowingly "forever immortal", who cannot be eliminated. In order to eliminate the immortal member, teams must find who the "immortal" member is of the other team, taking a designated item of theirs to a certain location, place the item in a pot and shout a spell. This will grant a golden glove, which can be used to eliminate the immortal member of the other team. Then the name tags of both immortal members must be brought to a treasure chest, then shout another spell, which will break the Curse of "Get" Pearl.
9. Members can eliminate each other, and two members must be eliminated each time to open a gate. Therefore at the final gate, only two members will be remaining to save Dorothy and eliminate the wizard.
10. Although this was not broadcast, judging by what Kai said, and a scene which is possibly in jail, we can determine that Haha got eliminated.
11. The member with the most votes becomes the target to be eliminated, going in order from most to least votes received. If their designated whistle is found and blown, their order moves to the end.
