They guard our lives everyday , and not only allow us to breathe deeply, but also to make runners worldwide focus on Taiwan!

A brand new course with finishing point at the Taipei Sports Park

　　Taipei Marathon is the only urban marathon certified by the World Athletics (WA)in Taiwan.  Although there are many challenges when planning an urban marathon,  Taipei Marathon continue to optimize running experiences. With the heritage tour in running course,  reducing the riverside track by extending the race track towards Nangang Exhibition Hall, and  Nanjing East road will be included in the 2020 Taipei Marathon.

　　It is worth mentioning that 2020 Taipei Marathon will have the ending points at the Taipei Sports Park for the first time. The starting and ending points were all in front of the Taipei City Hall front plaza in the past, so we look forward to seeing runners gathering at Taipei Sports Park gloriously, and attracting more spectator to cheer for the runners and finishers.

In addition to the acclaimed ice pool relaxation area and massage area at the finish venue, freshly cooked noodle stalls are added to provide runners with the most comprehensive care after the race.
