　　2026臺北馬拉松將於12月20日上午6時30分在臺北市政府前廣場盛大起跑，臺北市政府今（3）日舉辦宣告記者會，宣布馬拉松組自今日下午4時起開放一般跑者登記抽籤，半程馬拉松組則於7月27日下午4時起開放登記。今年賽事延續世界田徑總會（World Athletics）金標籤規格，以「Small Steps, Big Changes. 每一步啟動改變」為主題，期盼透過跑步凝聚城市力量，持續打造屬於全民的馬拉松文化。

　　今年賽事主題「Small Steps, Big Changes. 每一步啟動改變」，象徵每位跑者跨出的每一步，都將累積改變自己的力量，無論是挑戰個人最佳成績、完成首次馬拉松，或陪伴家人一起參與，都能在終點實現屬於自己的目標。主視覺則以「動態連續」為設計理念，將跑步動作從單一瞬間轉化為時間的累積與流程，讓畫面不再只是靜態，而是一段被壓縮的時間軌跡，呼應長距離跑步中，身體所累積的慣性與記憶。看似背景底紋的城市街景，被重構為跑者的路線地圖。符號、地標與節奏，交織成可被閱讀的移動語言。

　　除正式賽事外，去年廣受好評的「耶誕歡樂早餐跑」將於12月19日登場，維持3公里及9公里兩個組別，並首度於終點規劃「早餐主題市集」，集結特色早餐品牌與輕食餐車，打造全臺最大的戶外朝食派對，結合耶誕節慶氛圍、歡樂路跑與市集活動，顛覆大眾對傳統路跑的想像，也邀請市民共同迎接臺北馬拉松週。

　　今年也首度推出「小小北馬體驗營」，預計於暑假期間辦理，邀請賽道沿線學區國小學童及在地跑團共同參與，透過補給體驗、賽道應援、趣味跑等活動，讓孩子從不同角色認識馬拉松，體驗大型賽事的多元魅力。

　　臺北市副市長林奕華表示，希望透過更多元的參與方式，讓無論是否為專業跑者的市民都能投入臺北馬拉松，以不同形式為選手加油，讓整座城市成為熱情應援的賽道舞臺，打造屬於全民的馬拉松文化。

　　為持續提升賽事競技水準並鼓勵跑者追求卓越，今年也全面升級「金標百傑」專屬獎勵，為頂尖選手提供專屬號碼布，提升參賽榮譽感與歸屬感。此外，自臺北馬拉松升級為金標賽事後，連續兩年全馬破三（SUB 3，即三小時內完賽）人數皆突破400人大關。為打造國內最速賽道，今年特別規劃「金標籤SUB 3專屬榮耀徽章」，並擴編馬拉松組別的SUB 3配速列車，全力協助跑者將個人最佳成績（PB，Personal Best）推進至三小時內。

　　曾在2024年臺北馬拉松以2小時58分20秒，首度完成SUB 3的女子百傑跑者陳美彤，今年初再於大阪馬拉松刷新PB，她提到自己的破三心法，「立下破三目標後，保持平常心、信心和正能量，執行訂下的質量跑課表與配速控制，一步一步地把自己體能提升。」不過這還只是基本功。

　　針對比賽時的調整她強調，「熟悉掌握自己的全馬配速與心率，比賽時前段保守，定時補給，後段隨時感受自己身體的反應做調整。」強調科學化訓練的陳美彤認為，挑戰破三就要做到基本全馬的訓練，好好感受身體的反饋，不過度訓練、恢復也要做足。同時在心態上要對自己有信心，「不論結果如何，每個訓練和比賽過程都能成就更好的自己。」

　　現年42歲的楊永馨是臺灣最年輕完成世界六大馬拉松賽事的女子百傑選手，個人最佳成績是2022年臺北馬拉松創下的3小時1分2秒，她表示，破三始終是自己努力追求的目標，「前幾年頻繁的參賽跟高強度運動雖然都在3小時的門口，卻始終沒跑進去。現在決定放慢步調重新來過，開始注重跑量的累積，最重要的當然還是要有很好的賽道，就像我現在最好的成績是在臺北馬拉松創造的。希望今年能夠挑戰破三成功。」

　　曾被譽為「最強上班族跑者」的陳瑋琳，目前任職於運動部，「過去我曾經很接近全馬破三的門檻，後來因為傷勢的關係，這幾年把重心放在10公里和半馬等較短距離賽事。」提到重返全馬的心態，她強調以前比較在意成績，現在更重視身體狀況能不能穩定承受訓練，以及健康地站上起跑線。陳瑋琳認為，「只要能夠保持健康、按部就班完成訓練，還是有機會朝破三這個目標努力。我知道這條路不容易，但正因為不容易，才更值得期待。」

　　在永續發展方面，頂級贊助夥伴富邦金控自2021起結合四大馬拉松及指定賽事，提出「Run For Green^®」倡議計畫，只要跑者累積跑滿40公里，富邦便為其種下一棵樹。計畫推動至今已累積逾40.6萬人次參與，總跑步里程數突破1,124萬公里，跑者認領超過12.8萬棵樹；同時，為激勵國內優秀選手，凡刷新國內馬拉松紀錄的最佳臺灣男子或女子選手，將頒贈新臺幣33萬元獎金。

　　賽前培訓方面，同為頂級贊助夥伴的adidas則延續廣受好評的訓練營模式，於今年推出為期12週的半程馬拉松專業訓練營，自8月21日起正式開放報名。課程由專業教練團隊帶領，透過平日田徑場的速度及跑姿訓練與週末河濱的長距離慢跑，全面提升跑者的體能、耐力與配速能力，陪伴跑者突破個人最佳成績。

　　臺北市政府表示，臺北馬拉松不僅是一場國際級路跑賽事，更是展現城市活力與市民凝聚力的重要平臺。特別感謝長年支持臺北馬拉松的各大企業夥伴，包含富邦金控、adidas、美商賀寶芙、CITIZEN、PaMi曾拌麵、汎德永業集團台北保時捷中心、台灣大哥大、馬拉松運動博覽會、SHOKZ、健喬集團、長榮航空、Allsports創星影像、台北大安伊普索凱悅尚選酒店、Betery好能補給、撒隆巴斯、吳寶春麥方店、大武山牧場、博威運動科技、舒跑、Hermes、Red Bull、瓜瓜園、淨極勁、STR運動癒防平台、瑞穗鮮乳土司、新感覺、優鮮沛與盛香珍等各領域的企業夥伴踴躍投入，以及財團法人松山慈祐宮的大力支持。未來將持續攜手企業夥伴及跑者共同推動賽事進步，讓每一步都成為改變的起點，也讓世界看見臺北。

The 2026 Taipei Marathon will officially begin at 6:30 a.m. on December 20 in front of Taipei City Hall. At a launch press conference held today (July 3), the Taipei City Government announced that registration for the Marathon Division lottery opens at 4:00 p.m. today, while registration for the Half Marathon Division will begin at 4:00 p.m. on July 27.

Continuing to uphold the standards of a World Athletics Gold Label Road Race, this year's event embraces the theme "Small Steps, Big Changes." The theme reflects the belief that every step forward has the power to transform individuals while bringing the community together, further cultivating a marathon culture that belongs to everyone.

The theme embodies the idea that every stride contributes to personal growth and achievement—whether runners are pursuing a new personal best, completing their first marathon, or simply sharing the experience with family and friends. This year's visual identity is inspired by the concept of "continuous motion," transforming a single running movement into a flowing timeline that captures the accumulation of endurance, determination, and memory throughout a marathon. The city's streets are reimagined as a runner's course map, where landmarks, symbols, and rhythm intertwine to create a visual language that celebrates both movement and Taipei itself.

Beyond race day, the popular Christmas Breakfast Run returns on December 19, featuring both 3K and 9K events. For the first time, the finish area will host a Breakfast Market, bringing together renowned breakfast brands, healthy food vendors, and food trucks to create Taiwan's largest outdoor breakfast festival. Combining festive holiday celebrations, recreational running, and a lively marketplace, the event invites residents and visitors alike to kick off Taipei Marathon Week in a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere.

The Taipei Marathon will also debut the Taipei Marathon Mini Camp this summer. Designed for elementary school students from communities along the marathon route and local running clubs, the program will offer aid station experiences, cheering activities, and fun runs, allowing children to experience a major international sporting event from different perspectives while fostering an early appreciation for marathon culture.

Taipei Deputy Mayor Lin Yi-hua said the City hopes to encourage broader public participation by creating diverse ways for people to engage with the Taipei Marathon, regardless of whether they are competitive runners. "We want the entire city to become a stage for cheering on runners and celebrating together, building a marathon culture that belongs to everyone." she said.

To further elevate the event's competitive standard, the Taipei Marathon has upgraded its “Gold Label Elite Top 100” rewards this year, introducing exclusive race bibs to recognize elite participants and strengthen their sense of achievement and identity. Since earning World Athletics Gold Label status, the race has recorded more than 400 runners completing the marathon in under three hours (SUB 3) for two consecutive years. This year, organizers will introduce a new Gold Label SUB 3 Honor Badge and expand the SUB 3 pace team to help even more runners achieve the coveted three-hour milestone and new personal bests.

To encourage more women to pursue SUB 3 performances, renowned Taiwanese distance runner and Taipei Marathon official pacing coach Cheng Tzu-chien will once again lead the adidas SUB 3 Team, providing dedicated pacing support for female runners. Cheng noted that breaking three hours requires maintaining an average pace of 4 minutes and 15 seconds per kilometer over the entire marathon distance—a challenge that demands exceptional endurance, discipline, and determination, and one that marks a runner's entry into the ranks of elite marathoners.

Women's Top 100 runner Chen Mei-tung, who achieved her first SUB 3 performance at the 2024 Taipei Marathon with a time of 2:58:20, lowered her personal best once again earlier this year at the Osaka Marathon. Reflecting on the mindset that helped her break the three-hour barrier, Chen said the journey began with setting a clear goal, maintaining confidence and a positive attitude, and following a structured training plan with disciplined pacing. "Improving your fitness step by step is the foundation," she said.

Chen stressed that race-day execution is just as important as training. Runners need to understand their target marathon pace and heart rate, start conservatively, refuel consistently, and adjust according to their body's response throughout the race. A firm believer in scientific training, she emphasized the importance of building a solid marathon training base, listening to one's body, avoiding overtraining, and prioritizing recovery. Above all, she encouraged runners to trust themselves. "No matter the outcome, every training session and every race helps you become a better runner."

At age 42, Thi Khanh Duong, Taiwan's youngest female runner to complete the World Marathon Majors, holds a personal best of 3:01:02, set at the 2022 Taipei Marathon. Duong said breaking the three-hour barrier has always been one of her greatest goals. "For several years I raced frequently and trained at high intensity, coming close to SUB 3 but never quite getting there," she said. "Now I've decided to slow down, rebuild from the basics, and focus on accumulating mileage. Just as importantly, you need a fast course—and my personal best was set at the Taipei Marathon. I'm hoping this will finally be the year I achieve SUB 3."

Chen Wei-lin, once known as Taiwan's "strongest office worker runner" and now serving at the Ministry of Sports, said she came remarkably close to breaking three hours before injuries shifted her focus toward shorter distances, including the 10K and half marathon. As she prepares to return to the marathon, Chen said her priorities have changed. "In the past, I cared mostly about finishing times. Now, my biggest goal is to stay healthy, handle my training consistently, and make it to the start line in good condition." She added that as long as she can remain healthy and train steadily, SUB 3 is still within reach. "I know it won't be easy—but that's exactly what makes the challenge so rewarding."

Sustainability remains a core pillar of the Taipei Marathon. Since 2021, Premier Sponsor Fubon Financial Holdings has partnered with Taiwan's four major marathons and other designated races to promote its Run For Green® initiative. Under the program, one tree is planted for every runner who accumulates 40 kilometers of qualifying race distance. To date, the initiative has attracted more than 406,000 participants, who have collectively logged over 11.24 million kilometers and claimed more than 128,000 trees. To further encourage elite performances, Fubon will also award a NT$330,000 bonus to the fastest Taiwanese male and female athletes who set new national marathon records.

Meanwhile, Premier Sponsor adidas will continue its highly regarded training program by launching a 12-week Half Marathon Training, with registration opening on August 21. Led by a team of professional coaches, the program combines weekday track sessions focused on speed and running form with weekend long-distance runs along Taipei's riverside routes. Through a comprehensive and systematic training curriculum, the camp is designed to enhance runners' fitness, endurance, and pacing ability while helping them achieve new personal bests.

The Taipei City Government emphasized that the Taipei Marathon is more than an internationally recognized road race—it is also a platform that showcases the city's vitality, inclusiveness, and community spirit. The City extends its sincere appreciation to its long-standing sponsors and partners, including Fubon Financial Holdings, adidas, Herbalife, CITIZEN, PaMi Zeng Noodles, Porsche Centre Taipei (PGUM), Marathon Expo, SHOKZ, Synmosa Group, EVA Air, Allsports Community, Betery, IMOTEK, Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical, Bravelog Sport Technology, Wu Pao Chun Bakery, Dawushan Egg Farm, Vitalon (Supau), Hermes, Red Bull, K.K. Orchard, XinGanJue, ReiSui Fresh Milk Toast, TRIKO FOODS CO., LTD., GIGIJING, and Sports Training Rehab Platform, as well as the generous support of Songshan Ciyou Temple. Together with runners and partners from all sectors, Taipei will continue to elevate the event, inspire positive change one step at a time, and further establish itself as a world-class sports city.
