Next year’s event also marks the first collaboration with the well-known travel platform KLOOK to launch the special travel packages for the WJS Marathon, which invites everyone to not only participate in the race but also continue to explore the beauty of the northern coast while enjoying a new experience that combines sports and tourism.

With the Chinese Taipei Athletics Association and all sponsors over the past 22 years, the New Taipei City WJS Marathon has become the only and the first event in the country to receive both World Athletics Road Race Label Events and the “International Responsible Sport Silver Label.” This not only proves the team’s high-level event organization capabilities but also signifies that the WJS Marathon is an environmentally responsible and sustainable event. In 2024, we will continue the spirit of “taking the next ten thousand steps,” in spite of the event quality or environmental sustainability, we will be at the front and surpass ourselves.

The WJS Marathon is not only the leader for the Gold Label certification and its sustainability among all road running events in Taiwan, but also earned the Excellence Award in DFA Design For Asia Awards and the Taiwan Golden Pin Design Award for its 2023 visual design with its innovative and avant-garde comic collage style which demonstrates bold and innovative marathon sports image. There were over 8,000 entries for the Golden Pin Design Award, and after evaluation by a group of 30 experts from both domestic and international backgrounds, 552 designs received the “Golden Pin Design Mark” and entered to the final round of selection.

Recognized by two of the major design awards in Asia, the 2024 visual design for the event continues to collaborate with the designer, Peng Guan-Jie, who has won the German iF Design Award. We attempt to present a 3D animation for the first time, using various graphic elements to construct and reconfigure and also combining   special features of WJS such as the Wanli Tunnel, Queen’s Head, local food, and the mountain and sea landscapes. This creates a diverse design, which will offer runners a unique and fresh experience.
