About the Race

Selling out in hours, Challenge Taiwan is set in southern Taiwan in Taitung on the Pacific Ocean. The course takes in the best of the spectacular ocean road and tropical rainforests as well as the local culture and that, coupled with one of the sport’s largest expos, its unrivalled atmosphere and Taiwanese welcome, has made Challenge Taiwan one of Asia’s bucket events.

About the Course

The swim course is in crystal clear water from a natural spring and mild temperatures in a man-made reservoir with easy viewing for spectators.

The bike is set on an undulating course which heads north between the soaring Carp Mountains and spectacular Pacific Ocean coastline.

The run combines the cultural heart of Taitung city with the beautiful Pipa Lake Park, the surrounding tranquil rice fields and orchards and vibrant ocean promenade.

Tie Hua Village, a vibrant destination in the heart of downtown Taitung, is filled with colourful and musical aroma. You can hear the melodies of the aboriginal culture from a distance away. Lined with a sea of colourful hot air balloon lanterns, this is the place to be in Taitung for a relaxing yet energetic atmosphere.

As you come up the finish chute, take a little time to reflect on what you have achieved, and relish the experience of finishing Challenge Taiwan.
