CHINESE TAIPEI TRAIL RUNNING ASSOCIATION
About Us
Chinese Taipei Trail Running Association TTRA
Trail running and fast hiking are often separated by only a single mountain path. We aim to connect Taiwan's hiking, trail running, and fast-hiking communities, helping more people enter the mountains in a safe, professional, and welcoming way while creating a world-class trail route that truly represents Taiwan.
MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
A Message from the Chairman
Hello, I am Chou Ching, Chairman of the Chinese Taipei Trail Running Association. As Taiwan's mountain access policies have gradually opened, outdoor sports have gained greater freedom and diversity. My vision is to create an international-level race in Yangmingshan comparable to Hong Kong 100 and Ultra-Trail Mt. Fuji, giving Taiwanese runners a trail route that represents their own country.
VISION 01
Strengthening the Outdoor Sports Ecosystem
Hosting an international-standard trail race in Yangmingshan benefits more than runners alone. As races, equipment, coaching, tourism, media, and local services become interconnected, the entire outdoor sports ecosystem can grow together.
VISION 02
Balancing Trail Community Development Across Taiwan
Most of Taiwan's trail running population is concentrated in the north. Northern Taiwan therefore needs stronger branding and international exchange strategies, while southern Taiwan should continue building from the grassroots by supporting local running groups, clubs, and training resources. When communities across Taiwan are empowered, a truly complete trail running ecosystem can emerge.
We believe fast hiking and trail running will continue to shape the future of outdoor sports. Our association is not only about organizing races and events. We aim to become a sustainable organization that connects communities and creates meaningful impact. Steady on the trail, strong for the long run. We warmly invite you to join us in shaping the future of trail running in Taiwan.
