The organizer has purchased public liability insurance for this event. The coverage items and amounts are as follows (subject to the official insurance contract terms):

1. Race Disputes: Athletes are not permitted to question or challenge the referees during the competition. Any notes or explanations with equivalent authority to the official athletics regulations shall be interpreted solely by the referees and are not subject to appeal.
2. Result Disputes: If a participant has any concerns about their official race result, they must submit a request for review to the official timing team. The decision of the chief referee shall be final.
3. Appeal Procedure: Any appeal related to the race must be submitted within 30 minutes after the announcement of the group results. A deposit of NT$3,000 must be submitted along with the appeal, which will be acknowledged and signed by the competition team. All decisions made by the Race Jury are final. If the appeal is deemed groundless, the deposit will be forfeited and retained by the organizer as part of the event fund.

1. To maintain event quality and protect participants’ rights, any changes to race categories or names after registration deadline will result in disqualification from award eligibility.
2. On race day, please assemble at the designated location before the official start. Chip timing mats will be used for check-in instead of manual verification. Early starters will be disqualified.
3. According to World Athletics Rule 165.24, the official race time begins at the start gun. Ranking and results will be based on gun time. Runners must pass over the timing mats at the start, checkpoints, and finish line. Missing any of these timing records will lead to disqualification and no official results will be issued.
4. As the starting area is on an open road, runners must start on time. For safety reasons, late starters may be prohibited from joining the race and will not receive a recorded time.
5. The race route and aid stations are officially approved. To ensure quality and fairness, runners without official race bibs are not allowed on the course or to use the aid stations.
6. Participants with no chip timing record at checkpoints or without proper identification will be disqualified without appeal.
7. Runners who withdraw mid-race or switch race groups during the event will be disqualified without appeal.
8. If a participant's race bib is not properly displayed on the chest and cannot be identified, the finish line referee may deny entry to the finish area.
9. Cut-off points and times are set for each race category as follows:
   • Half Marathon (21K): Checkpoint CP2 – Chengmei Flood Gate (approx. 9.5K): closes at 19:30
   • Fun Run (10K): Checkpoint CP1 – Guanshan Riverside Park (approx. 4.8K): closes at 19:00
   • Family Starlight Run (5K): Checkpoint CP6 – Yingfeng Riverside Park (approx. 3.0K): closes at 19:00
   • Note: Cut-off locations and times may be adjusted based on the final route and on-site conditions. The final announcement prior to race day shall prevail.
10. Participants who fail to reach the cut-off point or complete the course within the designated time must board the sweep bus or follow the designated return vehicle. Refusal to do so is at the participant’s own risk.

1. To promote environmental sustainability, no printed certificates will be provided. All finishers will receive an electronic finisher certificate. A download link will be sent via SMS to the mobile number provided during registration. (Please ensure your number is correct. For group registrations, we recommend team leaders fill in each member’s personal mobile number to ensure receipt of the message on race day.) An online result query service is also available: https://irunner.biji.co/track
2. A professional chip timing system will be used to record results. Please refer to the event website for instructions on how to use the timing chip. Official awards are based on gun time, while chip time is for personal reference only.
3. For participants who are cut off mid-race or who miss any checkpoint sensor, the word "Reference" will appear next to their name in the result listing and certificate.

1. This event uses a professional sports timing chip system to record race results. Please refer to the instructions provided (see image guide) and wear the chip correctly. The organizer will not be held responsible for any timing errors due to improper chip placement.
   
2. If the chip falls off due to incorrect attachment to your shoelaces (metallic materials are prohibited), and results are not recorded, the participant will be solely responsible.
3. Exchanging chips, wearing another person’s chip, or wearing more than one chip is strictly prohibited. Violators will be disqualified, and all results will be invalidated without appeal.
4. Awards are based on official gun time. Chip time is for personal reference only.
5. Participants who are cut off mid-race or miss checkpoint records will receive only a completion time on their certificate, without a ranking.
6. After finishing the race, please verify your results before leaving the venue. If you encounter any issues, visit the “Result Correction Station” tent for assistance.
7. Chip Placement vs. Detection Rate
   
8. We strongly recommend taking an extra minute to securely fasten your chip. If the chip falls off, not only will you lose your NT$100 deposit, but you’ll also lose your official result. Even if the chip stays on, a missed checkpoint reading could cost you 10 extra minutes at the correction area. For top runners aiming for awards, a loose chip may cost you a spot on the podium.

1. The race course runs along the riverside cycling paths and is an open-access roadway. In accordance with government regulations, only limited traffic control can be enforced. Certain sections must remain open to public use. All participants are advised to remain vigilant and ensure their own safety as well as that of other road users during the event.
2. If there is a traffic signal at an intersection, please wait accordingly. Do not shout at or attempt to bypass staff or traffic control. If you cannot accept this rule, please refrain from participating.
3. As this is a nighttime running event, please pay special attention to your personal safety. Carry your National Health Insurance (NHI) card with you. Medical service stations will be available on-site to provide emergency assistance if needed.
4. If you feel unwell during the race, do not push yourself. Seek assistance from nearby event volunteers. Mobile first-aid patrols will be circulating along the course.
5. Please assess your own physical condition before participating. Get sufficient rest the day before, and eat a proper meal at least two hours before the event. Do not run on an empty stomach to avoid fatigue, hypoglycemia, or even sudden fainting during the race.
6. Race referees and medical staff reserve the right to stop any runner from continuing if they determine the runner is physically unfit to proceed. Their decision is final and not open to appeal.
7. Do not linger or obstruct the finish line area before or after finishing the race. This could interfere with the safe arrival of other runners. If you wish to take photos, please move to the side after crossing the finish line.

1. The event will proceed as scheduled in case of rain. However, if a land or sea typhoon warning is issued, or in the event of any force majeure such as a natural disaster, the organizer reserves the right to cancel, postpone, or alter the race route for the safety of all participants. Announcements will be made via the official event website and on-site notice boards. Participants shall not raise objections.
2. If weather forecasts indicate a high probability of rain on race day, the organizer may increase the number of tents at the event site as needed.

1. A baggage storage area will be available at the main event venue. The service will be open from 15:30 to 21:30.

3. Staff will provide two matching stickers: one will be affixed to your race bib, and the other to your baggage. These must match when reclaiming your belongings after the race.
4. Items such as electronic devices, valuables, fragile items, perishable goods, long umbrellas (folding umbrellas are allowed), and hazardous materials will not be accepted. Please keep all valuables with you—the organizer will not be responsible for any loss or damage.
