Am interested in running a Marathon. I have done a half marathon before with the assistance of a running group. Just wondering if there is a running group in Taipei for beginners?
I dunno about current running groups, but if anyone out there wants to start get one together, you can count me in.
I’m down for any kind of running group, I really wanna run a marathon before I leave this island. I was running before it got ridiculously hot, now I’m just lazing around. Few things to consider:
- I’m in Zhongzheng district. Near the Guting riverside park entrance in the Shida area.
- I can only run in the mornings. On Saturday only late afternoons, and Sunday anytime.
- I am super lazy, so I would really appreciate a group of people guilting/ motivating me into running consistently.
I would be interested in this kind of group to start training for the Taroko Gorge Marathon in November. Preferably near Guting MRT.
Hi there,
A couple of months ago I started a facebook group called “Taipei mommy runners” for lack of a better name because I had just started beginner training with some other mommy friends. Now there are nonmothers, including men (dads and not). I’m trying to encourage people to post their runs if they want company. There are a few people following a couch to 10k program right now and a few of us have just started half marathon training this week.
Anyway all different kinds of people in all different areas.
Right now me and a couple of friends meet regularly Tuesday night for a run (usually CKS or Da an).
Please feel free to join us!

Ok, so I’ve requested to join the Taipei Mommy Runners Group on FB, and I’ll post this there when I can.
I am also really interested in running Taroko. I live right by Guting RIverside Park, and its a great place to run in the mornings. If you want, we can set up a time. I’m available pretty much every weekday morning between an 8 and 9 am start.
