Run For Time (Chinese: 全员加速中 Pinyin: Quányuán Jiāsù Zhōng), literally All Members Accelerating, is a Chinese variety show broadcasting on Hunan Television channel. The idea of the show is based on Fuji Television Network, Inc's Run for Money Tosochuu (run for money 逃走中).
Run For Time features an all-star cast.
In every episode of Run For Time, four hunters are sent out to capture seventeen guest stars (or escapees). For every second the escapees survive, they gain 50 in-game credits, which will accumulate over the first eight episodes for the finals (ninth episode). If the escapees are caught by the hunters, they will be eliminated and are permitted to keep only 1/10 of their credits for that particular round. Meanwhile, they have to complete certain tasks thrown to them in a given time frame while hiding from the hunters. If the escapees find a "refuge", they can choose to sign out and leave with the credits they have. If the escapees survive the whole course of 90 minutes, they will be handsomely rewarded with 270,000 credits. There is also a shop where they can spend their credits to gain tools to hide from or defeat hunters.
The hunters cannot have any sort of communication with the escapees. They can only sprint when they see an escapee, and they cannot determine the escapee's location by looking for the cameramen. If the escapees manage to hide or run away from the hunter, the hunter will give up the chase.
