SUPERACE Ultra Marathon, Taiwan station

SUPERACE ULTRA MARATHON series was designed and developed by Kevin Lin, an ultramarathon runner from Taiwan who was one of the first modern runner to run across the Sahara Desert on foot. With the objective of developing international marathon events in Taiwan, Kevin has developed an ultramarathon trail in Taiwan so people can explore the many faces of his beautiful home while experiencing the undying commitment needed to complete an ultramarathon.SUPERACE ULTRA MARATHON series is an event combining travel, extreme experiences, and self-exploration; a race to change your life.

Unlike a regular marathon, this three day two nights, self-supported ultramarathon will push for the extremes. However, SUPERACE will be with runners the whole way by ensuring an environment where runners can safely challenge their will and commitment and discover what it means to go beyond the limit. Expanding on what Olympic gold medalist Emil Zátopek once famously said:
If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience a different life, run a [ultra]marathon.

Come run at SUPERACE and experience a different life.

 

The 9th Annual series of SUPERACE TAIWAN will take runners to the ancient forest trails of Alishan. Scouted by renown trail explorer Ah Hu (阿虎隊長曾尉傑), this trail will encompass a variety of challenges including high elevation, mountain terrains, and forest trails. Not only will runners run on mountain asphalt roads, but your trail running skills will also be tested on grass, wood and stone, while passing through both tropical and subtropical mountain climates. Runners will run through tea plantations, bamboo forests, and experience the five wonders of Alishan: Ancient train tracks, mystical forests, sea of clouds, sunrise, and sunset.
