Founded in 1986, the Taipei Marathon combines international road racing with urban sightseeing in Taipei. After a suspension during metro construction, it resumed in 2001 and has welcomed recreational runners and elite athletes from Taiwan and abroad. The route has changed over time, incorporating city streets, riverside spaces and landmarks as runners pass through different neighborhoods. Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, the Presidential Office Building and the North Gate have all featured along the course. The event has also obtained international course certification and World Athletics race recognition, bringing Taipei's urban scenery and long-distance running together.
