The Northernmost Point Trail is a long-distance road race that takes runners through farmland, along coastal roads, and up to Taiwan’s northern tip.

Participants can choose between a 105.3 km route with nearly 2,000 meters of elevation gain or a shorter 57.4 km option.

The course is fully paved, but support is limited, with basic signage and a strong emphasis on self-navigation and endurance.

It is best suited to runners who are comfortable managing long distances with minimal assistance and variable conditions.

The route traces a quieter side of northern Taiwan, trading crowds and spectacle for distance and exposure.

Registration is set to open on May 1, according to event organizers.
