This Spring Festival, two runners, Shen Yuanfa and Li Xiaobo, who set out from Singapore, participated in the Taiwan Island Running Dream Recovery Plan. They ran a total of 1,045 kilometers in 19 days, and ran around Taiwan for a whole lap!
This exciting and arduous Taiwan Island Runners’ dream come true. It will set off from Ximending on February 8, 2019 (the fourth day of the Chinese New Year), and run around Taiwan Island in the direction of the clock. The total length of 1,045 kilometers will take 19 days to complete. The daily schedule is at least 42.5 kilometers and a maximum of 64.5 kilometers; the maximum track is more than 2,000 meters of climb; the race requires the players to have a minimum speed of no less than 5 kilometers per hour and have a closing time.

1. It’s not time to pursue dreams
△16 Runner Shen Yuanfa
16 runner Shen Yuanfa is from Singapore. He started running more than 200 marathons in 2008 (the 17th roundabout is his 200th marathon), including the Hard Bones "Super Horse" events such as Hong Kong Bai. It is undoubtedly a challenging historic event for a Singapore-based "old man" to participate in the Taiwan Island Run. He also made full preparations for this, including running a full marathon on the East Coast every week for pre-race training.
His wife is also a marathon enthusiast. Mrs. Shen and her daughter also came to Taiwan in the last three stops to join the volunteer team and cheered up Mr. Shen. During the marathon around the island, he did not forget to carry the Singapore flag. His face was filled with a happy smile.

Another runner from Singapore is Li Xiaobo (Bogo). As an amateur marathon runner with less than five years of running, Bogo has completed many world-class challenges including the Six Grand Slams, the World Marathon Challenge (777 Challenge), the Arctic Marathon, and has become one of the few members of the World Marathon Grand Slam club.
Bogo not only runs by himself, but also is willing to share his experience and journey of running horses with everyone. He believes that positive positive energy can change life. At the end of 2018, he supported Love and Dream Studio to hold the "Extreme and Dream" charity photography exhibition in Singapore through his company Fenghe Capital and his family charitable foundation, QIMING Foundation, and released the photography album "42.195Beyond", which aroused widespread influence and praise from the society.

"I was moved by everyone's tenacity and kindness!" Bogo said on the 10th day after the challenge to Taiwan began. He had been almost closed because he completed the day's stage only 12 seconds in advance. After the race that day, he felt that he had reached his limit and could no longer hold on. Every day is a new challenge, and every day can happen unexpectedly. In the 64.5-kilometer super horse stage, which is officially described as the Great Devil, Bogo, under Wei Shujie's accompanying running and patient guidance, not only created the longest distance PB of the super horse, but also ran quite good results, completing the day's stage in just 11 hours.
This time, Bogo not only participated in the 1,045-kilometer journey around the island, but also invited the long-term cooperation love and dream team to fly to Taiwan to join the organizing committee to participate in the filming work. He hopes that in the future, he can hold a charity film festival in Taipei with the arduous and warm story of 63 warriors who go around the island to realize their dreams, telling the story of the limits and dreams to the public, and influencing more people to stick to their dreams and change their lives.

The youngest player Wu Peijie is only 19 years old and is a freshman at Yunlin University of Science and Technology. She had never run the full marathon before. In order to participate in this dream realization plan, she secretly saved money and paid the registration fee before telling her parents that she had problems with her health many times in the middle and fainted for a while. She finally stood by her mother's company and rushed to the finish line, fulfilling her dream of being a 19-year-old young man, and creating a new miracle.

2. Dream realization plan: Six years of hard work
△ Initiator Shao Jingyi
6 years of preparation, 19 days of blooming. The Taiwan Island Runner Dream Revival Plan is organized by Shao Jing, a math teacher at Ankang High School in New Taipei City, Taiwan. will be the first time for the Taiwan Island Runner Alliance Association, and it will be the only time for the brave who has a dream of running around the island to realize his dream with the assistance of this event.
Shao Jingyichang introduced himself as: "A middle-aged fat man who loves to run marathons". He started running more than 10 years ago due to health factors. He completed running around the island in 2011. Last year, he completed the "8" shaped running around the island alone. He occasionally ran with his runners on the road of about 1,100 kilometers, and most of the time he was alone. He said that only he understands the feeling of running. After he successfully circled the island, he began to feel that it was nothing great to have run around the island by himself. Perhaps it was because of his dedication to taking care of others as a teacher. He had the idea of helping others realize his dreams and decided to hold a roundabout marathon.
3. Super Abusive Event Extreme Challenge
Nowadays, marathons have become a fashionable sport around the world, and more and more people cannot meet the standard marathon's 42.195 kilometers distance, to challenge the more extreme "super horse". The so-called super horse is a long-distance endurance race with a distance of more than a marathon. The most common super horse race is 50 kilometers and 100 kilometers. This time, Taiwan’s island-round runners’ dream realization plan is a “super horse” every day for 19 consecutive days, with the highest number of running 64.5 kilometers per day. The journey I passed was unimaginable hardship! On the first day of the
competition, at 6 a.m. on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year on February 8, 2019, the contestants set off from Ximending, Taipei to New Taipei Kingsoft (59.5KM). At six o'clock every day for the next nineteen days, runners started running on time, passing through Yilan, Hualien, Taitung, Pingtung, Chiayi, Nantou, Taichung, Miaoli, Taoyuan, and finally returned to Ximending, Taipei. They conquered the entire island with the tenacious willpower that ordinary people could not imagine, and used their steps to draw a perfect circle on the map.

The nineteen-day super marathon is completely different from the usual marathon, and it is about willpower rather than speed. You cannot be injured or get sick every day. If you are injured, you must make the fastest adjustments to reduce your injuries and recover. Many runners basically go on the road with pain every day. The weather changes, sometimes running in the scorching sun, sometimes running in the cold wind and rain, and many runners on the way have leg injuries, swollen feet, gastroenteritis, colds, and anorexia, all of which bring huge challenges to the race.
Three protective staff who specialize in sports and sports medicine specialize in the volunteer team became angel-like existences. In addition to healing everyone after the competition begins and ends, they are also responsible for dealing with various situations along the way. After the runners rest every night, the protective staff lounge becomes the most popular room, busy providing emergency treatment to runners who accumulate pain during the day.

marathon supply point is a very special and warm existence of this supermarathon event. Many of the volunteers (volunteers) teams of the organizing committee are the families of runners. They prepare food and supplies for everyone all day for nineteen days. Among them, Ge Cheng's wife was sick on the way and insisted on serving everyone.They get up earlier than runners every day and go to runners later than runners. They try every means to cook delicious food for runners who are exhausted or even have no appetite. They send cold mung bean soup under the scorching sun and warm ginger soup in the cold rain. It can be said that without the efforts of volunteers, there would be no dreams for everyone.

5. Beautiful scenery along the way The power of running
Taiwan is an island with quite diverse natural scenery. If you want to see mountains, there are mountains and mountains; if you want to see the sea, surrounded by the sea; if you want to see pastoral scenery, there are also developed agriculture in the countryside of Taiwan. Here, every inch of the scenery is produced by oneself. Only by continuing to move forward can you see a more beautiful scenery.
Super Marathon competition is not only about the athletes' physical fitness, but also a test of willpower in the second half of the competition. If you have beautiful scenery along the way to accompany you when you are exhausted, you may have the courage to persevere. For many runners, "appreciating the beautiful scenery" is the driving force for them to participate in the competition and even persist in completing the competition.
6. Extreme and Dream
At the end of 2018, Bogo supported Love and Dream Studio to hold the "Extreme and Dream" charity photography exhibition in Singapore, and also released the photography album "42.195Beyond".
