2018SUPERACE極地超級馬拉松台灣站

 

“Explore the great beauty of the southern Formosa, Taiwan! “ Kevin Lin, the famous Taiwan ultramarathon runner, has held ultramarathon races in Pingtung for the continuous 6 years. It lasts for 3 days, 130km in total in distance. This time, together with the deputy mayor of Pingtung, he shot the starting gun in the last day of the race, and called for more and more people to explore the beauty of Pingtung with their own foot.

 

Kevin Lin said, this is the 6th SUPERACE ultramarathon, Taiwan station. He’ll lead new ultra runners run through the southern part of Taiwan with leadership and responsibility.

The course of the race leads our runners conquer the high ridges, trails and rivers, according to Kevin. Runners even have to across the Central Mountain Range before reaching the campsite. Jinshuiying Historic Trail, County Road 199 and Xuhai Grassland Trail all compose part of the changeful terrain of the route: from thousands of meters above the sea level, to the dried-up river bed; bird warbling, sea wind and lovely sceneries are all along the way.

 

Li-Xue Wu, the deputy mayor of Pingtung, welcome the runners brought by Kevin Lin’s team with great pleasure. Among the more than 60 runners this time, some of them came from China or even Ireland. A group of 20 or so staffs from the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium and a local hotel join the third day run altogether. With the passion of all these running lovers, the culture, the local art and the beauty of nature are shared overseas, letting more people know.

“Bringing kids to explore the 9 ecotourism routes in Pingtung, and feel the rich culture of the place by heart, is especially meaningful.” Ms. Wu emphasized.
