The NS RUN Nanshan Life Half Marathon is an internationally certified event. The course is flat and scenic, with the start and finish located on Ketagalan Boulevard in front of the Presidential Office Building in Taipei City.
What this race demands
This half marathon requires sustained aerobic capacity to cover the 21.1 km distance from the presidential office area through Taipei. Athletes must manage pacing carefully over the certified course.
Aerobic endurance
Covering the 21.1 km half marathon distance demands consistent cardiovascular output and efficient running economy from start to finish.
Pacing discipline
The flat course profile removes major elevation changes, making strict adherence to a target pace critical to avoid early fatigue.
A half marathon typically takes between 1.5 and 3 hours, so athletes should consume 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour depending on their total duration.
