葉耀嶸Ran in 2025

“This aid station is also worth a special mention.”

Considering the condition of the runner's knees, the runner took it easy even on flat sections and tackled the steeper slopes as if hiking. The views overlooking the river and city, along with the generous food, eased the fatigue and let the runner rediscover the joy of mountain-course races.

“I'd like to thank that person here for the encouragement. :)”

This runner ran the gentler climbs and walked the steep sections at the Luzhou Guanyinshan Marathon, overcoming five tough climbs. Encouraged by a volunteer, the runner accelerated over the last 3km and finished sixth among women in 4 hours 49 minutes 27 seconds.

START

Breeze Canal Plaza, Luzhou District, New Taipei City

Start · Google Maps

Course starts at the Erchong Floodway venue in Luzhou District, New Taipei City,

passing Weifeng Canal Plaza and Luzhou Weifeng Baseball Stadium before joining the riverside path under Chenglu Bridge.

The route then follows the riverside, crossing the East-West-South-North Rock and Guanyinkeng Creek Bridge,

before crossing Guandu Bridge in front of Xiushan Shrine and climbing toward Bali.

From the section passing Guanyin Pagoda and the Sacred Heart Girls' Junior High School footbridge, the elevation continues to rise.

Course reaches a maximum elevation of 250m with 953m of total elevation gain,

making it a hilly course that climbs and descends the foothills of Guanyin Mountain, just as its name suggests.

Full marathon also includes an out-and-back section that passes Wuji Temple in Bali,

then Longyu Temple and Zide Temple, before turning around at the end of Laoqiankeng Road.

Half marathon turns back in front of Wuji Temple, while the 10km course turns around in front of Xiushan Shrine,

making it a short, mostly flat riverside route that is approachable for beginners.

By contrast, full marathon repeatedly climbs between the temples of Guanyin Mountain, making the perceived difficulty much higher.

Typical race-season temperature: around 20°C (68°F): Short sleeves — hydrate for the warmth
Elevation gain: Full marathon maximum elevation 250 m · cumulative elevation gain 953 m, half marathon cumulative elevation gain 316 m, 10 km cumulative elevation gain 62 m
