Run3+Crew of Taichung

Run3+Crew was born as a simple idea within a group of three friends in the spring of 2013. It was just an ordinary day as always, but we decided to take a spontaneous run at night. Soon, we influenced our friends around us as rapidly as the cells divide. More and more people got inspired and joined them.

The philosophy of the crew is captured in their simple and powerful motto. As they state, "We are Run3+ Crew. Run for life. Run for love. Run for lovely."

In the heart of Taiwan, the beautiful city of Taichung has cultivated a running culture that has grown organically from a simple idea: true friendship. The story is like that of many crews around the world—it often begins with a few friends deciding to take a spontaneous run, whose enthusiasm then spreads like wildfire, inspiring more and more people to join their movement and create a vibrant local community.

The Spirit of Taichung's Running Community

The crew extends a warm invitation to anyone who shares their passion for an active and social lifestyle. Whether you are a local resident or a visitor to the city, you will find a welcoming community ready to share some miles. You are encouraged to connect with local groups via their social media channels to find a run that suits you.

Taichung is home to a diverse and energetic running community. The city boasts several active and welcoming running crews and clubs that bring together people from diverse backgrounds. Prominent local groups, often referred to as "pǎotuán" (跑團), play a key role in the city's social fabric, organizing weekly runs, participating in races, and fostering a strong sense of camaraderie among the city's athletes.

The city of Taichung is the cultural and economic heart of central Taiwan. It is renowned for its pleasant climate, its vibrant arts scene, and as the birthplace of bubble tea. This dynamic and modern metropolis, with its wide boulevards and beautiful parks, provides a fantastic and inspiring backdrop for a run. The city offers a variety of stunning routes for runners to explore. A favorite destination is the Taichung Metropolitan Park, a massive urban park that offers challenging hills and breathtaking views of the cityscape. For a more central and cultural run, the Calligraphy Greenway is a beautiful green corridor that connects major museums and art spaces. The premier racing event in the city is the Taichung Marathon, which attracts thousands of participants each year to its scenic and well-organized course.
