Heading to Taipei this weekend to run a half marathon there. I think I saw somewhere that there will be 100,000 participants for the event, which if true is completely mind-boggling! I've never heard of such a large race, and was not aware that the Taipei International Marathon was a race of that magnitude when I signed up for it. I still plan to run it, but I'm just saying... It may because there are like 5 different race lengths offered: full marathon, half marathon, 9km, 3km "fun run" ("free entry to the first 20,000 persons!"), and 2km kid's run. I think showing up early to the race start for this one will be a must.
You can follow me online. Here's the link: http://marathon.taipei.gov.tw/change.action?request_locale=en_US Just type in my bib number, 18253. Race starts Sunday, December 19 at 7AM, Taipei time. I am to finish roundabout 2 hours, but with all those runners to dodge and weave between, I may be way off!
I'll write a little bit about how the race went next week, if I can find time.
