Taroko Marathon Cancelled Due to Earthquake Damage
Posted on 2024-07-17 16:58:14
The Taroko Gorge Marathon is officially cancelled this year, due to earthquake damage.
Organizers say this year's race cannot continue as planned, after a major earthquake in April severely damaged sections of the Central Cross-Island Highway and caused multiple collapses along the route.
They say they will continue to monitor progress on highway repairs, and discuss with the park office and other experts, whether the marathon can resume.
The organizers expressed hopes that if things progress smoothly, some parts of the race may return next year.
The Taroko Gorge Marathon is an internationally recognized event, with its biggest highlight being running within a national park.
