What this race demands

This AIMS-certified full marathon covers a 42.2-kilometer lakefront course in Nantou County, demanding sustained aerobic capacity over a standard marathon distance.

Aerobic endurance

Covering the full 42.2-kilometer distance requires extensive baseline aerobic conditioning and efficient pacing over several hours of continuous running.

Musculoskeletal durability
