Taipei Marathon
Taipei, Taiwan · Monday 14 December 2026
The Taipei Marathon in December 2024 is a full marathon held on trail surface through Taiwan's capital, with a course that stays mostly flat to gently rolling across very low elevation ranging from 2 to 27 meters above sea level. The race is AIMS certified and well-organized with official support including multiple aid stations, volunteer support, and a dedicated expo. You'll find race information including cutoff times, the official route map, and venue details on the organizers' comprehensive website, plus options for official hotels and transport coordination if you're traveling from abroad. Registration queries and runner services are handled during weekday business hours by the race office, and the event attracts enough participants to warrant organized volunteer and cheerleading sections along the course. Given the flat terrain and trail surface, this is a good option for runners targeting a fast time or those seeking a less technical marathon experience in an urban setting.
