THE DREAM

ABOUT THE RACE

A day you'll remember,
long past the finish line.

This marathon follows the riverside paths at the confluence of the Dahan and Xindian rivers in Banqiao, New Taipei.

Starting below Fuzhou Bridge, runners make an out-and-back trip along the riverside cycleway, while full marathon completes two laps of the loop section.

Accessible by metro from central Taipei, it is an open course with the distinctive feel of a riverside course.

“It's a trial of ice and fire through cold and blazing sunshine, and a test of water and wetness through rain and humidity.”

At the 2022 Banqiao Marathon, Shi Yihui endured the heat of the exposed riverside and the mental challenge of passing the finish at the 28 km mark. Resisting the urge to quit, the runner finished in 4:09:25.

“I decided to leave it to luck whether I'd finish in the top 1/5 of my age group.”

At the Banqiao Marathon's half marathon event, Audi reached turnaround point while holding a 5-minute-per-kilometer pace, then slowed as heart rate and fatigue rose. Missing a sub-1:50 finish but placing 39th in the age group, the runner wasn't disappointed after giving it everything.
