Getting There
🏃 Race Day Transportation
Tuna Family Hotel Taitung ( 鮪魚家族飯店臺東館 ) ↔ Race Venue: Taitung County Stadium ( 臺東縣立體育館 ). As participants must check in and rack their bikes early in accordance with organizer regulations on race day, it is not possible to ride your race bike directly for transportation. We have compiled the following transportation suggestions for getting to each race area:
【For check-in, race pack pickup, expo, and race finish: Taitung County Stadium ( 臺東縣立體育館 )】
- Recommended walking: The venue is only about 800 meters from the hotel. Exit the hotel and walk straight along Section 1, Chunghua Road for about 10 minutes to arrive easily. This is especially suitable for pre-race check-in and race pack pickup, as well as a slow walk back to the hotel to rest after finishing.
【For the swim start and transition area: Taitung Flowing Lake ( 台東活水湖 )／Taitung Forest Park( 臺東森林公園 )】
- Take the organizer's shuttle bus or a taxi (recommended): The distance from the hotel is about 2.5 - 3 km. Since you cannot ride your bicycle on that day, it is recommended to ask the hotel front desk in advance to help reserve or call a taxi. The ride takes only about 5 - 8 minutes to reach the Flowing Lake area directly, helping you conserve as much energy as possible for the race.

▶ How to Prevent Heat Stroke During Summer Triathlon Training in Taiwan (July–September)?
- For July–September triathlon training in Taiwan, it's best to avoid training during peak heat hours, stay on top of hydration and electrolytes, wear breathable, sweat-wicking gear, and adjust training intensity based on heart rate and how your body feels.
- Pay close attention to your body's signals! If you experience dizziness, nausea, or confusion — signs of heat-related illness — stop exercising immediately, cool down, and seek medical attention.
- A friendly reminder from AsiaYo's "Triathlon Race Platform": never push through a training plan at all costs during summer triathlon training. Adjust your intensity and gear to the weather, stay in tune with how your body feels, and you'll build fitness safely while avoiding heat stroke and heat exhaustion.
▶ First Time Doing a Triathlon — Should You Pick Taiwan or Japan?
AsiaYo's sports race registration platform recommends:
- "Taiwan Triathlon Races": Better suited for beginners — starting with a race in Taiwan means easy transportation, no language barrier, and less prep pressure, which cuts down on the unknowns.
- "Japan Triathlon Races": Best for those with some training experience already under their belt who want a high-quality international race experience paired with a trip to Japan — a more memorable choice.
▶ Signing Up for a Triathlon Through AsiaYo — How to arrange Accommodation?
"AsiaYo's Triathlon Race Registration Platform" offers a "race entry + accommodation" package, letting you sort out registration and lodging in one go — no worrying about nearby hotels selling out during peak race season. We prioritize partner hotels close to the venue, cutting down on pre-race planning time so you can prep with peace of mind!
▶ How Far in Advance Should You Register for a Triathlon on AsiaYo?
AsiaYo's triathlon booking platform recommends keeping an eye on release dates for popular races and booking as soon as registration opens. Booking early also gives you more time to plan accommodation and transportation.
- After completing your booking, watch for the registration and check-in confirmation email from AsiaYo, and fill out your race participant details according to the event's requirements.

▶ How Should You Take Energy Gels During an AsiaYo Full/Half Marathon?
AsiaYo's runner tips on energy gel timing:
- Energy gels are the most common and effective on-course fuel for half and full marathons, helping runners maintain blood sugar and stave off fatigue during long-distance running.
- A good rule of thumb: take one gel about 30 minutes before the race, then keep it consistent with another gel roughly every 45 minutes (or every 10K) during the race.
- Always wash it down with water to avoid stomach upset, nausea, or diarrhea — and skip pairing it with sports drinks, which can push your sugar intake too high.
- If you're using caffeinated gels, save them for the back half of the race (around the last 7K of a half, or after 30K in a full) for a boost in focus and to fight fatigue — don't rely on them the whole way through.
▶ Where Are the Hotels in the Marathon Packages Located — Are They Close to the Start/Finish Line?
AsiaYo's marathon package hotel selection strategy puts runners first. Here's what we prioritize:
- Hotels near the start or finish line, so you don't have to wake up in the dark before the race and can get back to rest quickly afterward.
- Transit hubs (like near subway stations or train stations), making it easy to get to the Expo or explore the city.
- Some races offer an early-morning race-day shuttle as an add-on — and we make sure our hotels are located close to those shuttle pickup points whenever possible!
▶ Are There Discounts on the "AsiaYo Marathon/Road Race Runner Accommodation Package"?
By booking the "AsiaYo Runner Accommodation Package", AsiaYo can handle your Taiwan marathon race entry registration, round-trip HSR tickets, and quality hotel booking all together — working out cheaper than booking each item separately with added fees. Plus, each package has a fixed price, so it's not affected by real-time hotel rate hikes!

▶ How Many Nights Do You Typically Stay for AsiaYo's Taiwan Marathon Trips?
AsiaYo's marathon packages mostly offer a 2-day, 1-night trip, including a stay the night before the race or on race day itself. If you'd like to extend your trip, you can also book extra hotel nights — the itinerary is highly flexible.
▶ What's Typically Included in AsiaYo's Taiwan Marathon/Road Race Travel Packages?
The AsiaYo Taiwan Marathon Travel Package typically includes:
- Race entry registration for marathons, road races, trail runs, or cycling events

- At least one night's stay at a handpicked hotel near the race venue
- Shuttle service or local car rental may be available depending on the specific race
▶ When Booking an AsiaYo Marathon Package, Is the Hotel Close to the Starting Line? Is There a Shuttle?
For AsiaYo's road race packages, accommodation is prioritized to be as close to the starting line as possible, with hotels near a train station or shuttle pickup point as the next best option — ensuring runners can get to the venue conveniently, smoothly, and safely.
▶ Booking an AsiaYo Marathon + Hotel Package — Will the Hotel Offer an "Early Breakfast" or "Boxed Meal" on Race Day?
For Taiwan marathon stays, breakfast timing generally follows the hotel restaurant's actual operating hours. If your race check-in time is earlier than that, we recommend runners bring their own appropriately portioned breakfast or snack.
