📍 Taitung, Taiwan

🏊🏃🚴‍♀️ Olímpico 🏊🏃🚴‍♀️ T100 🌍 INT
Challenge Taiwan is set in southern Taiwan in Taitung on the Pacific Ocean. The course takes in the best of the spectacular ocean road and tropical rainforests.

Challenge Taiwan is Asia’s largest long distance triathlon, with entries typically selling out within a week opening! And it’s not hard to see why. Renowned for its natural beauty and fascinatingly diverse cultures, the city of Taitung – which sets the backdrop for this incredibly popular race – is the perfect setting for a race-cation.

It might be one of Taiwan’s smallest cities, situated on the south east coast. But each spring, Taitung becomes the temporary home to 8,000 triathletes taking on Challenge Taiwan’s middle and long distance triathlons – the latter the biggest in Asia.

And it’s worth making the trip to this hidden gem of a region with its authentic local culture, delicious food, hot springs and breathtaking coastline. It really is a race in a tropical paradise.

While the mercury may nudge 28°C / 82°F April is one of the best times of the year to visit Taitung – just don’t forget the suncream! – and thankfully, humidity is on the low side so, over the years, it’s become hugely popular.
