Alishan Ultramarathon (Taiwan)

A brand new 125 kilometer route, traversing the high-altitude mountains, famous hiking trails and forests of Taiwan. The trail runs across asphalt roads, mountain trails, wooden planks, stone stairs and unpaved ancient industrial roads. The altitude spans three forest climates: subtropical, warm zones and temperate zones. The competitors will run through tea gardens and hills, while passing by bamboo forest and fir trees, all while in misty clouds with the morning sun. With the famous "Five Wonders of Alishan": railways, forests, seas of clouds with sunrise and sunset in the background, competitors will encounter and experience the true beauty of Taiwan.
