Flash – no English (Sorry – I had no say at all!)
My name is Bob (I’ll be serving as an interpreter) I can provide an English registration form and further material (6 pages total) in English (.doc or .pdf files) if you send me an email.
Oh, one more thing – not that anybody races for money – we all do it just to get exercise, right? 
but the top prize in the full marathon is NT$150,000. Even if you don’t win oneof the top prizes, runners who finish various events will also receive various gifts (mostly T-shirts, towels and sporting goods).
