You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The show is co-hosted by [[MatPat|Matthew Patrick]] (MatPat) and [[Kaj Larsen]]. The show went through many years of development, picked up and dropped by [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] in 2002 and later, picked up and dropped by Verizon in 2016.

[[Matt Damon]] and [[Ben Affleck]] first sold The Runner to ABC in 2000. The series was slated for a midseason launch during the 2001-2002 season but was halted in the aftermath of 9/11 when security concerns compounded the already big challenges of the complex and expensive production.<ref>((cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2016/03/ben-affleck-matt-damon-reality-series-the-runner-verizon-go90-1201721318/|title=Ben Affleck & Matt Damon Reality Series 'The Runner' To Launch On Verizon Go90|date=March 16, 2016|website=www.deadline.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160318165507/https://deadline.com/2016/03/ben-affleck-matt-damon-reality-series-the-runner-verizon-go90-1201721318/|archive-date=2016-03-18))</ref>

==Overview==
''The Runner'' is a reality television competition, which consists of teams of five ("Chaser Teams") attempting to catch a runner, whose goal is to race across the USA. The race is divided into daily segments, which end when the Runner gets to the Safe Zone or is caught. If the Runner is caught, the Chase Team who caught the Runner is awarded the Runner's bounty, which starts at $15,000 and increases by $15,000 every day. If the Runner makes it to the end without getting caught, the Runner is awarded $500,000. The viewers are also eligible to win money. Every day, the Chase Teams and runner give out a cash prize in "Chaser" or "Runner Cash" to whomever they deem worthy of it.((citation needed|date=December 2018))

"America's Cash Task" are clues that are given twice daily that point in the direction of the Runner. Viewers can submit the answer online, and 10 people are drawn for each ACT to win a cash prize.

===Competition structure===
There are 3 episodes aired live every day for a month, at 12pm, 3pm, and 10pm EDT.((citation needed|date=December 2018)) The 12pm episode begins with co-host [[Kaj Larsen]] giving the Chaser Teams a task, which usually provides a clue which needs the ACT 1 answer to be completed. The first ACT normally gives a city name or general location, which the Chaser Teams then begin driving to. The Runner is simultaneously provided his "Daily Op", which he must complete in order to escape for the day.

The second ACT clue is released to the Chaser Teams when they are within a certain radius of the Runner, or during the 3pm episode, whichever one comes first. The clue, when deciphered, contains the exact location of the Runner's Daily Op.

The Runner's Daily Op consists of a challenge, which when completed awards a Checkpoint Key. Every 5 days, the Runner must perform a "Daily Op on steroids", where they must use the past Checkpoint Keys to unlock a Finale Key, to be used on the final day. After every Op, the Runner is given instructions to an escape vehicle, and once they enter a certain area, they are deemed safe for the day.

===Season One===
The first season consisted of five original Chase Teams, followed by the addition of #RunnerAllstars midway through the season. The Chase Teams are:
* #TheBrogrammers, consisting of James Stern and Alex Dadds.
* #BrotherNature, consisting of Travis Smith and Koa Smith.
* #SweetNSavage, consisting of Ashley Kelsey of [[MTV]]'s [[The Real World: San Diego (2011)|''The Real World: San Diego'' (2011)]] and ''[[The Challenge: Battle of the Seasons]]'', and [[Heather Rae Young]].
* #FriendZone, consisting of Rafael Melo and Jen Brill.
* #BravoSquare, consisting of Brandon Saunders and Brent Saunders, brothers.
* #RunnerAllstars, consisting of the first two Runners, Bri Hill and Steve Young, introduced mid-season after they were caught.

===Canceled second season===
Season Two was confirmed by MatPat on July 30, 2016 at the end of the final episode of Season One. go90 was expected to continue to host the show.<ref>((cite tweet |user=argn |number=809793420411572225 |date=December 16, 2016 |title=(Here's a link to our coverage of The Runner, season 1. A second season has been confirmed.)))</ref>

On July 31, 2018, go90 shut down its operations, leaving the show's future in doubt.
