Marathon Introduction: Taroko Marathon
Author: Vivien LeungAuthor's Background:
Since December, 2009, I have started to participate in running competitions in Hong Kong. In the past year, I have attended 10km, half marathon and other races. Finally, I ran my first full-marathon on 20 February, 2011 which was the Hong Kong Standard Charter Marathon. Before the marathon, I have been training for over six months. Though I withdrew from the race after 37 kilometers, it was a very unforgettable experience. After the SCM marathon, I will continue to train for futuremarathons. I am planning to run marathons in other cities or countries. In December 2011, I will attend the Macau Galaxy Entertainment International Marathon.

Personally speaking, I have never taken part in this marathon. In my opinion, I doubt we would run on the narrow-bridge. I have looked through many pictures taken by marathon runners online, but I have never seen anyone running on that narrow bridge.
