Many international runners are preparing to take part in this year’s challenge. As the record for men’s and women’s best times were set in the first year, with Paul Crake finishing in 10 minutes, 29 seconds and Andrea Mayr reaching the finish line in 12 minutes, 38 seconds, Taipei 101 will be increasing the award money to NT$200,000 this year for breaking the record, to encourage more competitors to join the fray.
許多國際好手今年都準備要來挑戰。由於男女最佳紀錄都是在第一屆創下，包括保羅‧魁克的十分二十九秒和安德瑞亞‧梅爾的十二分三十八秒成績，台北一○一今年特別增設破紀錄獎金二十萬元，鼓勵更多好手參與盛會。
The men’s record holder Crake now relies on a wheelchair to get around, after being involved in a car accident, and sells assistive devices helping disabled people drive. He will be present on the day of the competition to award the prizes.
男子組紀錄保持人魁克因一場車禍意外導致現在必須依賴輪椅行動，他目前從事協助殘障人士駕車的輔具銷售，賽事當天，他將親自出席頒發獎項。
