Mackerel Run ({{ko-hhrm|달려라 고등어||Dalryeora Godeungeo}}) is a 2007 South Korean television series that aired on SBS from May 12 to June 30, 2007 on Saturdays at 16:40 (KST) for 8 episodes.

The high school sitcom was originally planned as a 24-episode series, but low viewership ratings in the 3-4% range led to its early cancellation.{{cite web|last=Ko|first=Jae-wan|title=STAR DIARY: Lee Min-ho – Part 2|url=http://www.asiae.co.kr/news/view.htm?idxno=2010042709004335516|website=Asiae|access-date=2014-02-26|date=27 April 2010|archive-date=2014-07-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714225721/http://www.asiae.co.kr/news/view.htm?idxno=2010042709004335516|url-status=live}}

After cast members Lee Min-ho (Boys Over Flowers), Moon Chae-won (Painter of the Wind), and Park Bo-young (Scandal Makers) rose to fame in 2008-2009, cable network tvN aired reruns of the show at 11:00 (KST) beginning February 28, 2009.{{cite web|title=Boys Over Flowers – News Review 4|url=http://kpculture.wordpress.com/2009/02/28/boys-over-flowers-news-review-4/|work=KPCulture|access-date=2014-02-26|date=28 February 2009|archive-date=2022-05-31|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220531174244/https://kpculture.wordpress.com/2009/02/28/boys-over-flowers-news-review-4/|url-status=live}}

Lee, Moon and Park would later work together again in the 2008 comedy film Our School's E.T.; they were cast because director Park Kwang-chun had reportedly enjoyed watching Mackerel Run.{{cite web|last=Ko|first=Jae-wan|title=STAR DIARY: Lee Min-ho – Part 4|url=http://www.asiae.co.kr/news/view.htm?idxno=2010042909434654070|website=Asiae|access-date=2014-02-26|date=29 April 2010|archive-date=2014-10-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141028095548/http://www.asiae.co.kr/news/view.htm?idxno=2010042909434654070|url-status=live}}
