A4.

Visually impaired (VI) runners can register for any race category and are required to find their own running buddies. Please note that there will not be any specific training camp for VI running buddies.

To register as a VI runner, please contact the Chinese Taipei Road Running Association (CTRRA) at 02-25855659 ext. 9. You will need to provide a registration form, registration fee (refundable after the event), information about your running buddy, and a copy of your VI certificate.

Number of guide runners for VI participants: According to the regulations of the International Paralympic Committee, for the full marathon, there must be a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 4 guide runners; for the half marathon, a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 2 guide runners. Only one guide runner is allowed to accompany the participant at a time, and changes are permitted only at the 10 km, 20 km, and 30 km points.

For the 12km and 3 km categories, one guide runner is mandatory. For VI participants in the full and half marathons accompanied by more than one guide runner, changes must be made at specified times and locations (at the 10 km, 20 km, and 30 km points) and reported to the officials. Failure to adhere to these regulations, including not replacing or improperly replacing guide runners as per International Paralympic Committee rules, will result in the disqualification of the visually impaired participant. No prizes or bonuses will be awarded, and the rights of the guide runner will also be forfeited.

Guide runners' times will be recorded alongside those of VI participants, and guide runners will receive a bib number at registration. If the guide runner is not the person designated in advance, the VI participant's time will not be recorded, and they will not be included in the official rankings.

VI participants who complete the race within the designated time will receive a waiver of the registration fee. After finishing the race, please present your bib and identification documents at the event service tent in Dajia Riverside Park between 9:30 and 11:30 on the day of the event. Late arrivals will not be accommodated.

The registration deadline is October 30, 2026. If the registration limit is reached before the deadline, no further registrations will be accepted. Our organization will not be responsible for any late registrations due to online registration failures.

If you need to switch your race category after registration, you cannot directly make this change in the system since different categories have different fees.
If you have already paid and wish to switch to a different category, you must first apply for a refund for the original category. After the refund is processed, which usually takes about 3 working days, you will then be able to register for the new category.
If you haven't made a payment yet and wish to switch to a different category that still has available quota, you can make this change by visiting the Chinese Taipei Road Running Association (CTRRA)'s official website.
