2025 Taipei Marathon Christmas Breakfast Run Kicks Off with Record Participation
As the 2025 Taipei Marathon prepares to take place on December 21, the Taipei City Government kicked off the marathon weekend with the festive Christmas Breakfast Run early on the morning of December 20. The event attracted more than 10,000 runners. Yu Chu-ping, Commissioner of the Department of Sports, Taipei City Government, attended the event and fired the starting gun, joining citizens in welcoming the weekend morning and officially ushering in the Taipei Marathon festivities.
The Christmas Breakfast Run featured 9-kilometer and 3-kilometer categories, making it accessible to participants of all ages and running experience levels. Held during the Christmas season, the event embraced the theme of “Christmas Breakfast Run,” with runners donning Santa hats and holiday-themed outfits. Taipei City Hall Square was transformed into a lively urban Christmas carnival, allowing participants to soak in the festive atmosphere while creating warm and memorable moments through a cheerful morning run.
Now entering its third year, the Christmas Breakfast Run has continued to grow in scale and popularity. This year, a total of 10,284 runners registered across the two race categories, marking a record high. Herbalife, the event’s major sponsor celebrating 30 years of operations in Taiwan, mobilized more than 2,200 runners to take part, continuing to promote healthy and active lifestyles through sport while energizing participants ahead of the official Taipei Marathon races the following day.
To further enhance the overall event experience, the organizers introduced two themed installations: a large Christmas tree and a breakfast shop–inspired photo wall, both of which became popular photo spots among runners. The towering Christmas tree blended festive decorations with imagery drawn from both Western and Taiwanese breakfast culture, creating a vibrant holiday atmosphere. Meanwhile, the breakfast shop photo wall was inspired by everyday breakfast traditions, symbolizing the warm moments of sharing a meal with family and friends after completing the run, and adding a strong sense of daily life and urban memory to the event.
In addition to the races, a lucky draw was held on-site, drawing enthusiastic participation from runners. A variety of prizes were awarded, including an iPhone 17 Pro, adidas Boston 13, and SHOKZ official sports gift packages, allowing participants to take home not only a sense of accomplishment but also joyful memories—bringing the event to a satisfying and festive conclusion.
The Department of Sports, Taipei City Government, noted that the steadily increasing participation in the Christmas Breakfast Run reflects strong public enthusiasm for road running events that combine fun, accessibility, and ceremonial elements. To ensure safety during the marathon weekend, the Taipei City Government has strengthened personnel deployment at key points along the race routes, while coordinating with the Police Department to enhance patrol frequency and visibility, maintaining order and ensuring the safety of both runners and the public.
Looking ahead, the Taipei Marathon will continue to integrate the city’s unique character with broad public participation through runner-friendly event design and diverse thematic planning, building a stable, internationally oriented urban running brand and inviting citizens to welcome the year’s end through sport and shared celebration.
