Race details

Distinctive features

  • The twin-lake route links Lantan and Renyitan, with the race identity built around shifts between lakeside scenery, hills, and urban streets.
  • Marathon and half-marathon are the core categories, giving the event a more competitive and international profile than a casual local run.
  • The venue is around the KANO Baseball Stadium / Chiayi City Stadium sports area, so lodging, race-morning transport, and post-race plans can all be built around central Chiayi.

Runner notes

  • Registration is open; confirm fees, capacity, category details, and the final route map on the CTRun registration page, and note that entries may close early if capacity is reached.
  • The twin-lake theme means this should not be treated as a fully flat city run. Lakeside and hilly sections may affect pacing, so runners chasing a time should plan for terrain and fueling.

Summary

The second Chiayi City Elite Marathon is scheduled for November 1, 2026 in Chiayi, with marathon and half-marathon categories. Its identity is built around the twin-lake route between Lantan and Renyitan, giving it more of a competitive city-marathon feel than a casual fun run. It is worth tracking for runners looking for a southern Taiwan autumn speed test or half-marathon target.
