About Kaohsiung Harbor 10K & Half — what makes it special
ABOUT THE RACEA day you'll remember,
A day you'll remember,
long past the finish line.
The starting signal goes at 6:00 a.m. Kaohsiung Harbor 10K & half marathon is an event that starts before dawn in southern Taiwan in December.
The 2026 event is confirmed for December 13.
Both the start and finish are at Qiaotou Gong 7 Park in Qiaotou District, Kaohsiung,
returning to the same location and keeping the route for bag drop-off and collection short.
There are three distances: the 21 km half marathon, 10 km, and 3 km.
The 21 km starts first at 6:00 a.m., followed by the 3 km at 6:15 a.m. and the 10 km at 6:30 a.m.
Time limit is 3 hours 30 minutes for the 21 km, 2 hours 30 minutes for the 10 km, and 1 hour for the 3 km.
The early start helps runners avoid the midday heat, but it also means you should work out your travel and bedtime plans for the previous night in advance.
Entry fee costs 1,180 Taiwan dollars for half marathon and 1,080 Taiwan dollars for the 10 km.
A separate timing chip deposit of 100 Taiwan dollars is charged and refunded when you return the chip.
Registration opened on June 30, 2026.
This is a separate event from the large international marathon held in Kaohsiung,
so it is safest to check the organiser’s platform and the event name when registering.
The official event page will announce how to collect bib and timing chip.
It is worth checking once more during race week.
When the city cheers
Streets lined with cheers, runners all around.
You'll be part of that scene.
The trip that follows the run
Take it slow with the finish still in you,
and meet the city all over again.
