The gamania Cheer Up Foundation has been committed to advocating “GoNext” to encourage young people to break out of their comfort zone and discover their unlimited potential, while inspiring their imagination and having a global vision and an inclusive mind. Through programs such as the “Big Dream Project” and the “Orange Adventure Academy”, we support young people in pursuing their dreams. The “gamania Coast to Peak Ultramarathon” is the practice of gamania’s spirit of self-challenge. It not only supports adventure practice and promotes adventure education, but also focuses on the cultivation of Taiwan’s adventure culture and the adventurous spirit of the younger generation.
Designed with the “Shanhaizhen National Greenway” as the blueprint, the “gamania Coast to Peak Ultramarathon” started at the National Museum of Taiwan History, becoming an opportunity to travel through time and space and experience Taiwan’s history and culture. Runners run from the plains all the way to Taiwan’s sacred mountain – Yushan Boundary Monument. Along the way, we passed the Jianan Irrigation Project and the Wushantou Reservoir, two great water conservancy projects of Japan’s Hatta Yoichi. They are not only the cornerstones of agriculture, but also carry the culture and human wisdom of that time. After entering the mountainous area, you will pass through the Tsou tribes of Dabang and Tefuye. The Tsou tribe was recorded in Dutch history as early as the 17th century and played an important role in Taiwan.
