About the Event

Earn a world-class qualifying time on an unprecedented urban racetrack at the Nan Shan Taipei Freeway Marathon, March 8, 2026. This elite, AIMS-certified event offers the extraordinary experience of running on the fully closed Zhongshan Expressway, free from traffic and city interruptions. Designed for peak performance, the course features long, gradual gradients on smooth pavement, providing a straightforward yet challenging test for serious marathoners and half-marathoners. With an early morning start under the iconic Taipei skyline, this race transforms a major public artery into a sanctuary for personal records and athletic ambition.

Organized by the Chinese Taipei Road Running Association (CTRRA), registration is managed through the Sportsnet portal, but international runners should note categories fill quickly, often closing well before race day. Your entry secures a place in a uniquely efficient event focused purely on running, from the 42.195km elite marathon down to a 3km fun run. Prepare for a logistics-simple race day where the focus remains entirely on your pace, your progress, and the powerful sensation of conquering a legendary stretch of highway. Secure your spot to chase your goals on one of Asia's most distinctive and purpose-built marathon courses.
