The Taipei Transit 42.2Km Challenge
Additional Information About the Taipei Transit 42.2Km Challenge
This unique marathon is part of the March 2025 Oceania Tour, adding a creative and memorable twist for runners looking to cover more countries on their journey. The event will be held entirely within Taipei Taoyuan International Airport, utilizing the space between Terminals 1 and 2.
Event Details:
• Course: The marathon course starts near the gates of China Airlines as soon as all participants are ready to begin. Each loop between Terminals 1 and 2 will cover approximately 2 kilometers, requiring around 11 out-and-back laps to complete the full 42.2 km distance.
• Self-Support: This is a self-supported event. Runners are responsible for their own hydration, food, and rest. You are encouraged to carry your own supplies or make use of lounges and club access within the airport.
• Luggage: We highly recommend checking all bags to your final destination to avoid concerns about luggage storage during the race.
• Rest Options: For companions or participants who prefer to rest rather than run, there is a capsule hotel available in Terminal 2.
• Walking-Friendly: This is not an official running event, and participants are welcome to walk at their own pace. Please be mindful of airport security and ensure your activity does not disrupt airport operations.
• Timing: This is not a chip-timed race. To receive your medal, certificate, and finish time, GPS data from a running watch or phone app confirming the completion of 42.2 km is required.
Extras:
• All finishers will receive medals and certificates at no charge.
• Volunteers are welcome to help coordinate the event and ensure its success.
• Donations are appreciated to help cover the costs of bibs, medals, and other contingencies.
Important Note: Participants are responsible for adhering to airport regulations. Organizers are not liable for any issues arising from running within the terminal.
This event offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to turn a long layover into an unforgettable marathon experience. We look forward to seeing you there!
