- Where is the race packet pickup?
- Packet pickup usually takes place at the designated race expo 2-3 days before the event, often located near the Taipei Expo Park or the Chinese Taipei Road Running Association office.
- How do I get to the start line on race morning?
- Since the race is on a freeway, the start is at the Xinsheng Elevated Expressway (near No. 55 Changji St). Taxis or Ubers are the most reliable early-morning transport before the MRT starts running at 06:00.
- Is the course completely flat?

- Are there bag drop facilities?
- Yes, the organizers provide a bag storage service at the assembly area. You must use the official red CTRRA gear bag which can be purchased at the expo.
- What is the time limit for the full marathon?
- The time limit is typically 5 hours and 30 minutes. Given the race takes place on a major roadway, the road must be reopened to traffic strictly on schedule.
- What is the weather like in Taipei in mid-March?
- Temperatures are usually mild, ranging from 16°C to 22°C, but Taipei is known for high humidity and frequent light drizzle during this season.
