The March 15 episode promises bold betrayals and psychological warfare as cast members scramble to avoid penalty balls.
The show features five short-track skaters who starred at the 2026 Milan–Cortina Winter Olympics: Choi Min-jeong — widely regarded as short-track's queen and South Korea's most decorated Winter Olympian — along with Noh Do-hee, Lee Jun-seo, Lee Jung-min and Shin Dong-min. The broadcast will also reveal why Choi, who announced her Olympic retirement after the Games, decided to appear on Running Man.
Labeled \"Recharge Your Energy — Speed in Spring,\" the challenge sends the returning Olympians on a mukbang-style food course filled with spring flavors to help them recover. Penalty balls will be handed out based on mission results, triggering careful strategy and tense negotiations as cast members try to dodge punishment. Some players even accept penalty balls to switch teams, creating a chain of doubt that kept the set tight and suspenseful throughout filming.
Who will shake off the penalty burden and claim victory? The high-stakes, cerebral \"Recharge Your Energy — Speed in Spring\" race — every bit as gripping as a short-track final — airs on the broadcast.
