Episode 98:Location: Incheon, Muuido island.
Race mission (Jayu (Freedom) Park): With an introductory pretext that students of "Running Man High School" are on a field trip, each member chooses an individual mission to complete in the park and then return to the General MacArthur statue. The first two to arrive will receive gift certificates. Four members receive secret items from mysterious schoolgirls.
Race mission (Muuido island): Find the hidden quiz questions with "R" stickers. The first two to answer the quiz questions get gift certificates. Remaining members receive secret items from mysterious schoolgirls.
Zombie Spy mission (Tesco Homeplus Training Academy, Muuido): With the Running Men deceived into thinking they're hunting for treasure on a high school field trip, the zombie spy mission starts. Zombie spy rips off nametags to create more zombies. Surviving Running Men must use the secret items to locate water guns and a special liquid to eliminate zombies by spraying their nametags.
Comments: The Jayu Park mission and winning gift certificates are red herrings and have nuthin' to do with nuthin'!
- The Muuido mission's "finding the quiz questions" and gift certificate prizes are also red herrings and have nuthin' to do with nuthin'. They don't even bother showing any of the mission being done and even the mission instructions are cut off and are only recognizable from incidental dialogue as being the same as a mission in ep. 80. In the final edit for broadcast, the scenes look like they were staged just for the remaining members to receive secret items (otherwise how did the schoolgirls know where those remaining members would go?). Jong Kook recognizes their Muuido destination from having approached the same ferry recently in ep. 92. Muuido is hardly "uninhabited", and indicating it as such in the captions and by the PD is nonsensical and inane, which completely fits the episode's horror movie artifice.
- Ji Hyo first danced to 4minute's "Hot Issue" when she guested on Family Outing season one (Jae Suk and Jong Kook were cast members on that show, too), eps. 58 and 59, August 2009.
- The show looping on the TV monitors is the broadcast of the SBS show "You and I" hosted by Lee Hyori (ep. 1 guest) and Jung Jae Hyung (eps. 88, 89 guest) with guest Baek Ji Young among others, aired the day before this Running Man shoot.
- The instructions for eliminating the zombies, according to the water guns, are that the zombies' nametags also must be torn off after being sprayed. Apparently the zombies weren't given this memo, as they all just roll over and let their nametags be removed.
- The concept of the high school field trip morphing into a zombie apocalypse scenario follows a generic bad horror movie template, but the high school field trip pretext is completely discarded by the final mission. The high school personas for the Running Men are mostly immediately discarded, although it may have been funny if they tried to stay in character.
- Jong Kook mentions the "Incheon landing operation", which was a successful strategic operation early in the Korean War by General MacArthur that led to re-capturing Seoul from the North Koreans and prevented them from winning the conflict outright.
