Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Taiwan KOM Challenge demands sustained climbing capacity over a continuous 105-kilometer ascent from sea level to high altitude.
Continuous climbing
With 3,275 meters of elevation gain packed into 105 kilometers, the course requires relentless climbing without flat recovery sections.
Altitude management
Ascending to the peak of Wuling at 3,275 meters above sea level demands adaptation to significant reductions in oxygen availability.
Target 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain output over the multi-hour duration of this continuous climb.
