Ranked among the world’s most challenging vertical marathons, the TAIPEI 101 Run Up is famous worldwide for its formidable 91 floors, 2,046 steps and a vertical distance of 390m. The theme of this year’s race is “We are the Champions” and runners are encouraged to challenge themselves and seek to excel. The race will be an extremely difficult challenge for everyone, but everyone who completes it will be champions.
TAIPEI 101 Run Up will partner with title sponsor CTBC for the sixth time this year, and CTBC will award awards to competitors in the Self-Challenge section. Additionally, CTBC credit and debit cardholders will receive a 10% discount on entry fees when registering, and CTBC will contribute 5% of registration fees to social causes through the CTBC Charity Foundation. Last year’s partner, Nan Ya Plastics Corp., will also be on board this year and will make this year’s race a green event by providing runners with eco-friendly recycled functional jerseys.
There will be a maximum of 5,000 participants in this year’s race, and they will be divided into the TWA Elite, General Elite, Self-Challenge and Team categories. Of these categories, TWA Elite participants must first complete the 1st floor at 91st floor before moving on to the second lap of racing from 1st floor at 59th ground. This will significantly increase the difficulty of the race and top runners from around the world are cordially invited to register. Participating athletes will receive a 20% discount on tickets to the observatory located on top of the TAIPEI 101 building, and a discount code will be provided upon registration (limited to one-time use and to be used before 30 June 2024). The discount code can be used to purchase tickets via the TAIPEI 101 website (limited to a single purchase before June 30, 2024 and used for up to 4 full foreign and domestic tickets).
