The average November temperature in host city Taipei is 24.8°C high and 19.7°C low, and monthly rainfall is 89.3mm.
The organizer notes that humidity and the day-night temperature difference are significant at the race venue,
so runners should bring warm clothing and rain gear.
The race will go ahead in the rain, and it is only treated as canceled if the government announces a suspension of work and school.
All race items are shipped by courier; there is no on-site pickup.

Shipping is done in stages from October 19, and if you have not received your items by October 27, you should contact the association.
