Taipei Marathon

The Taipei Marathon is one of East Asia’s most prominent road races, drawing runners from across Taiwan and around the world to race through the vibrant capital city of Taipei. Held every December, the event features a scenic course that winds past iconic city landmarks such as Taipei 101, bustling urban districts, and riverside paths along the Keelung River, offering participants a dynamic blend of cityscape and athletic challenge. Known for its enthusiastic crowd support, well-organized race logistics, and a mix of elite competitors and recreational runners, the Taipei Marathon has become a festive highlight on the regional running calendar. Alongside the full marathon, the weekend often includes shorter distance races and community activities that make it a celebration of health, endurance, and local culture.
