If any of the top six players fail to finish on any day (DNF), their individual results cannot be ranked as a team finish, and the top six each day must be recalculated. (Exception: This is not the case for forced suspension by the chief referee due to safety reasons.)

What is a multi-days Ultra Marathon?

SUPERACE Ultra Marathon Stage Race is a concept created by extreme terrain explorer Kevin Lin who has participated in extreme marathons over many years. In an event totaling more than 100 km over 3 days and 2 nights, participants must carry their own food and water throughout the journey and make choices based on speed and stamina. The race is a challenge against wild terrain, animals, drinking water, weather, time, depleting stamina, and speed where difficult decisions must be made. Participants can also experience local tourism culture.

What is Self-carry and Self-supply?

Throughout the course, participants must carry their own food (prepare a minimum of 7 meals, we suggest buying dried rice packets), water, sleeping bags, change of clothes, and the event’s mandatory equipment. Backpacks have an average weight of 6-8 kg (including water). The event organizer carefully inspects each participant’s equipment before each race and if violations are found, participants must purchase additional equipment locally. The event only provides camp sites, drinking water, hot water, and tents to participants at CP stations (approximately 1 every 9~12 km). Participants who violate rules will be punished with additional time or disqualification.

What Types of Athletes Have Participated in SUPERACE Ultra Marathon Stage Race in the Past?

Participants of previous ultra marathon events mostly have full-time jobs and hail from various industries. SUPERACE does not place occupational restrictions or other requirements on race participants; this event is an international ultra marathon stage race and each race contains elite atheletes from various countries (China, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the U.S.) with 80% male and 20% female.

How Many Days are Required for Participating in Alishan Station?

Participants need to arrive one day before the race, to join the report, equipment inspection, and pre-race briefing session. and leave at any time after the race has concluded. The whole race will lasts 3 days and 2 nights, and conclued around noon in day-3, after the awards and ceremony. Therefore there are total 4 days to join this event.

What does the overnight campsite provide? Can I take a shower?

SUPERACE ultra marathon compares and refers to the international regular multi-day race system. Depending on the local camp conditions, organizer will set up tents for the players or provide indoor space for overnight use, and provide drinking water and hot water for meals, support and assistance from professional medical staff and volunteers. In principle, the camp does not provide bathing services.

Due to the climate condition in Alishan has a large temperature difference between day and night, indoor space as a campsite will be arranged.
