In the city full of hustle and bustle, it is the importance of physical and mental health as well as
the care for the
environment that we often overlook. This year, a marathon like no other is to be organized in Taipei
City. This is not
just a starlight run across the night. Course routes will be lightened up with starlight, making
every step a pursuit of
dreams. Through concerts and bazaars, participants are provided with a platform to relax while
enjoying food and music
at the same time.

Notes：
- 2024 China Airlines Marathon adopts the chip timing system to track and record race results. Participants who do not pass the starting mat or start early will have invalid results. The starting mat will be removed 10 minutes after the mass start. The organizers have the right to restrict participants who start more than 10 minutes after the starting time from starting for safety reasons and disregard their results.
- The awarding time will be adjusted according to actual conditions.
