The 2026 China Airlines Marathon is built around the core concept of "Run the World with China
Airlines," carrying forward the brand spirit of "GO RUNNING GO FLYING." This year's event is more than
a road race — it is a night run party that brings together the unique elements of an aviation brand,
sustainability practices, and sports socializing. Through the distinctive atmosphere of a starlight
night run, this event aims to establish itself as Asia's premier starlight marathon brand, symbolizing
China Airlines as a "bridge connecting the world."
