Among them, Taiwanese athlete Lo Ching-Chun was the first to cross the finish line with a time of 11 minutes and 46 seconds, completing his 4th consecutive victory for Taiwanese male athletes, while the Taiwanese female athlete champion was won by "Three Treasures Mom" Ku Hsiao-Wen.
As one of the Towerrunning World Association (TWA) global points tour events, this year's Taipei 101 Charity Vertical Marathon was themed "TEAM UP to go up together," attracting top runners from all over the world, including Malaysia's Su Wei-Ching and Japan's Watanabe Ryoji, ranked top 2 in TWA men's and women's categories respectively, as well as Croatia's Tea Faber and Japan's Yuko Tateishi, all competing for the fastest glory.
The race officially started at 8:00 AM. This year's individual competition was fierce. Ultimately, Watanabe Ryoji successfully defended his men's title with a time of 11 minutes and 25 seconds, while Faber also defended her women's title with a time of 14 minutes and 07 seconds.
