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.

Question 2

How do I get to the start line on race morning?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

What is the time limit for the full marathon?

Accepted Answer

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.
