New Taipei City Wan Jin Shi Marathon

The New Taipei City Wanjinshi Marathon started in 2003 as the Jinshan Marathon. For the very first Marathon held, the ending point was located at Jinshan Youth Activity Center, with around 4,000 runners participating in this local sports event. But after over 15 years of operation, the marathon has achieved international recognition and became a role model. In 2004, the course of the event expanded to include both Jinshan and Shimen Municipal Districts, the name of the event thus changed to the Jinshi Marathon. Later, in order to minimize the impact on local residents resulting from traffic controls of the event, the starting and ending points were relocated to the Pacific Green Bay (Taipingyang Feuicuiwan) in Wan Li since 2006.
