The EVA AIR Marathon is expected to attract as many as 20,000 runners from across the globe, giving them opportunities to take in Taipei’s scenery and skyline as they compete in the half marathon or shorter 10km and 3km races.

The run is being organized as a joint effort by the Chinese Taipei Culture, Leisure & Sport Association, Taiwan Tourism Bureau, Taipei City Government Department of Information and Tourism and the Chinese Taipei Road Running Association. The race is IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) and AIMS (Association of International Marathons and Distance Races) certified.
