About the event
The first extreme triathlon in Taiwan will be an unforgettable experience. Swimming in the frigid river of eastern Taiwan. Riding to the Mount HeHuan at 2,100m altitude and trail running through Taiwan’s mountains to the Top of Mount Hehun and the finishing line.
This carefully chosen cycling route takes the same path as The Taiwan KOM Challenge, represent one of the most unforgiving and brutal hill climb cycling routes in the world.
The route passes through the popular scenic area known as Taroko Gorge, an immense rocky chasm with vertical cliffs, innumerable tunnels and raging torrents below. Nature has created so many breathtaking scenes which attract many famous cyclists.
Gasping for oxygen in the thin air, sweating in the freezing cold atmosphere, bearing a positive mindset is of utmost importance. If the average Triathlon event no longer satisfies, then “Formosa Xtreme Triathlon” will push you to new limits.
