This year is the first time that CPDC sponsored the annual event of the road running "Tainan Starlight Marathon". After the “Thousand People's Public Welfare Garden Party” in the Annan District on the 9th day of the Chinese New Year, CPDC once again called on about 30 colleagues to be the volunteers and cooperated with 500 volunteers from the Tainan Starlight Marathon Association on August 4th, together serving 5,000 people participating in the Starlight Marathon. CPDC added a new record of the large-scale activities in Tainan.
The Tainan Starlight Marathon is the first marathon held at night. It used to gather tens of thousands of runners and also set the record for the largest number of participants in Taiwan. This year is the 7th Tainan Starlight Marathon. The main event was set up in the square in front of the Tucheng Orthodox Luermen Matsu Temple, Annan District, Tainan City. The road running route was mainly in Annan District and Anping District. The theme of the event was named "Marathon Love in Tainan", adding romantic atmosphere to the event. In addition to the 42.195 km whole marathon, half marathon 21 km and twilight health run 9.4 km, the "Stars Lovers Whole Marathon Group" also attracted many couples who love sports to sign up with their partners. Running, dating, and enjoying the beautiful sunset of Tainan, brought a romantic overture for the upcoming midsummer night in Tainan.
CPDC’s volunteers service at Luermen Matsu Temple supply station, providing rich materials to cheer for runners
The Tainan Starlight Marathon's supply stations are always rich and diverse. Eating and running like a carnival is also very famous among the marathon area. CPDC specially selected the “Luermen Matsu Temple Supply Station”, which was near the former Taiwan Alkaline Anshun Plant. The 30 volunteers provided roasted chicken, tea eggs, meal bags, lemon black tea and other foods to the whole marathon and half marathon runners who passed the supply station, and cheered for the runners together!
In addition to the material supply station, CPDC also sponsored nameplates, gift pockets, small towels and activity marking projects, etc. In response to environmental protection, CPDC also made three thousand environmental folding shopping bags to the whole marathon runners.
