Races in Taiwan are nothing like those in the US, except for the actual running, of course. They have pre-race group calisthenics. Lots of SWAG, lots of festival, and the aid stations have massive amounts of every kind of food you can think of. Seriously. Each of the aid stations are like the church potluck, or like the Golden Corral buffet. If you’ve only raced in the US then you are in for a treat. This race, like all TW races, was no exception.
This is at a touristy area south of Taipei. There were a lot of mountains, but the views from the top were stunning. It was really a great course.
Parking for this race wasn’t the best and I’d recommend you stay at a nearby hotel, within walking distance. I did, but the hotel owner insisted that I not walk. Instead he wanted to loan me his car so I could drive down. I was hesitant but he insisted. This is how TW’ese people are, just very friendly. I arrived early’ish and had to sort of create my own parking space. So be aware of this if you plan to drive in for this race.
