Race planning

Plan Taiping 24 Hour

Use the listed edition as your starting point. Each tool keeps imported race facts separate from the targets and assumptions you choose.

Listed edition: Jul 3, 2027 – Jul 4, 2027
Format: 24-Hour
Distance: 24 hr / 12 hr / 6 hr / 3 hr
Local start time: 9:30 AM Saturday
Duration / cutoff: 24 hours
Crew and pacers: Crews are optional and may help only at the organizer’s checkpoints and water stations, never out on the course, and they may not eat the food set out at checkpoints. Away from those points, the only help allowed comes from other runners in the race. Runners answer for their crew’s behavior and can be penalized or disqualified for it. The rules do not mention pacers, so plan to run without one.
Drop bags: A drop-bag counter at the venue opens at 8:00 AM on Saturday, July 3. Bags must be collected, with the bib, by 12:00 PM on Sunday, July 4; only the runner may collect them, and anything left behind is thrown away.
