2015 Standard Chartered Taipei Marathon

2015 Standard Chartered Taipei Marathon

2015-02-13

The Standard Chartered Taipei Marathon was successfully concluded on 8 February, 2015 at Taipei. The Hong Kong Blind Sports Federation had sent 6 visually impaired runners and 6 sighted guide runners to take part in the above marathon including full marathon, half marathon and 8K long run. We have won 4 champions and 2 first runner-ups. All visually impaired runners had achieved very good results and won prizes

Taipei is a rainy area. On the race day, it was with pouring and heavy rain. Even so, all runners were still very enthusiastic to run and the atmosphere was very good. For the visually impaired group, all runners ran rapidly and their speed was just like race cars. Our coach highly regarded the performance of our visually impaired runners and was very happy that they all won prizes with such good results.

The organizers expressed the hope that we would continue to send our teams to take part in their next year’s marathon!
