Format
Each episode of Run BTS features the members of BTS take on activities relevant to the episode's theme, usually in the form of games, missions or challenges in which they can earn prizes or punishments.[2] The members tackle the mission as a band, by forming teams or by individual basis if the mission so requires. Few special episodes also featured noncompetitive activities such as fashion show and skit or drama making.
In most episodes, the show is led by an MC, the show's host/presenter and, along with the production staff, the facilitator of the missions. Renowned MCs among BTS members are Suga and Jin; members J-Hope and V have also taken temporary MC roles. The entire BTS becomes the show presenter for episodes with missions that require an all-member participation.
Run BTS had a runtime of 8–15 minutes during its first season. By the second season onward, the show had a runtime of 20–40 minutes, with more consistent runtime of 30–40 minutes from 2020.

- Plot summary of the short film Dalbang Dorm (달방하숙):
To settle their conflicts, the seven occupants of the Dalbang Dorm—Nam-joon, Seok-jin, Yoon-gi, Ho-seok, Ji-min, Tae-hyung and Jung-kook—gather in the common area to agree upon a set of rules that shall govern their behavior. When the meeting turns into a heated argument, the meeting’s moderator, Nam-joon, decide that each dormer should contribute an idea.
Seok-jin goes first and proposes the rule: Do not put makeup products in the refrigerator. In a flashback, Seok-jin had gone to the kitchen and discovered his co-dormers’ makeup products filling the refrigerator, leaving little space for food. When the dormers become divided on the rule, Yoon-gi suggests having a separate fridge for cosmetics.
Next, Ji-min suggests the rule: Do not put your belongings in others’ room. In a flashback, Tae-hyung had left a stuffed toy and a heart-shaped lamp in Seok-jin’s and Ji-min’s room, respectively. Tae-hyung insists to Ji-min that it was only his way of sharing his things to his fellow occupants. Yoon-gi also points out how Nam-joon did the same thing. In another flashback, Nam-joon had left a sweater in Yoon-gi’s room after a failed shopping; Yoon-gi, who also found the sweater not for his size, had left the sweater in Ho-seok’s room.
As the dormers see sharing things as a good thing for them, Ho-seok suggests canceling Ji-min’s proposed rule and offers his own: Tidy up by yourself. In a flashback, Ho-seok had found Ji-min sleeping in his room and messing up with his clothes. In another instance, Ho-seok had woke up to find clothes and ice cream wrappers littering the floor. Angered by the mess, he found the culprits—Jung-kook, Tae-hyung, and Nam-joon—idling in the common room and watching TV while eating their ice cream.
Connecting to Ho-seok’s suggestion, Ji-min reminds the group to put their shoes in order, to which Seok-jin vehemently complains, stressing the lack of space in the dorm. When Tae-hyung mutters Jung-kook’s name, Jung-kook simply responds with a "What?" The next rule is laid out: Bring an adequate amount of belongings. A flashback reveals Jung-kook bringing too many objects inside the dorm.
Suddenly, the doorbell rings and Yoon-gi reveals he had ordered chicken for their lunch. With excitement, all except Nam-joon rush out of the common area. Nam-joon, nevertheless, joins the group and the seven dormers happily enjoy their meal. - The team names include baek (백), the Sino-Korean number word for 100, signifying the 100th episode of Run BTS. The syllables seok (석) and jin (진) are taken from Jin's real name.
