A Wonderful Run from Ali Mt. to Jade Mt. National Park

   Near the Christmas in 2000, I took the train all the way from Taipei to Ali Mt. I stayed a night for NT$500 at a very cheap and lousy hotel. (Can anyone recommend me any cheaper one?) because all I wanted was a good sleep, showers, and save money. I planned to do the 42K run to Jade Mt. national park and back.

In order to catch the only train to the JaYi train station (10am?) for coming back, I got up at 3am in the morning, I took a shower to refresh myself and started at 4am. I felt proud and strong as the only runner on the road. Most of time I relied on the starlight, but when I passed the path with tall trees on both sides, it was totally dark. Sometimes, I felt scared a little without knowing if there were some animals or beasts hiding and staring at me.

It's over 2000m at altitude. This was my first time to feel a little lack of oxygen, so I tried to keep slow pace. The road started with 10K rolling hills. After that, it's uphill all the way to the Park. Also it's cold (I think it's close to zero degree) and windy. All I had for energy were two buns in my pockets. However, it's so calm and beautiful that I felt melting with the nature, mountain, and everything around me.

It's very nice to experience the sky from darkness to sunrise when I got to the Park, where I made a phone call to my family and, fortunately, had a hot tea from the park office. I took me 2 hours.

	Coming back looked easier, but it was not. There was a series of rolling hills for the last 10K, where, most of us, including me, used to "hit the wall". Fortunately, I was able to go back to the hotel earlier. After taking a shower, I found I stilll have some time (2-3 hr?) to do hiking on several of Ali Mt. trails. I could not finished them all, but it's a very nice running experience. I was think that there should be a race like this, say 1/2 marathon from ALi to Jade, or the other way around, or a full marathon like what I just did. The course is very scenery. This should be able to promote local businesses in Ali Mt. and all around.

	前兩篇文章RunningYam兄描述他在西元2000聖誕節前後, 到嘉義阿里山跑步情形, 他半夜三點起床, 四點出發, 在海拔兩千多公尺的高地跑, 到玉山國家公園牌樓折返, 約一個馬拉松里程, 通過上坡低溫缺氧黑暗考驗, 苦盡甘來, 回味無窮, 並建議可在此辦路跑或馬拉松比賽十幾年前曾有比賽從塔塔加鞍部跑上玉山主峰, 可惜山徑狹小又陡太危險了, 三四年前路跑協會辦過塔塔加鞍部往東埔方向跑的路跑賽, 可惜現在已經沒再辦了 RunningYam建議辦個阿里山到玉山的馬拉松比賽蠻好的, 一是阿里山旅社很多, 可容納很多選手, 然後阿里山到塔塔加鞍部單程約21公里, 路單純叉路少風景好, 連接多個台灣中部的風景區, 不知有沒有單位願意舉辦?

	感謝英謙兄熱心為跑友翻譯，讓我們能與外國跑友間得以溝通交流，ＲunningＹam兄說的極是，ㄚ里山往塔塔加這一段新中橫公路，延線風景秀麗，氣候宜人，跑來定然舒暢，個人將盡力向路協建議爭取，各跑友如認同，也盼共襄盛舉。

	Thanks for the translation. I plan to come back for vacation this year. I think I'll run the same from Mt. Ali to Mt. Jade and back after weeks of rest from Taroko Marathon. Hope someone can join me to enjoy the tranquil and beautiful starlight. (and share the expense:)).

	RunningYam今年會回到台灣跑太魯閣馬拉松, 休息一陣子後又會上阿里山, 凌晨起床晨跑到玉山, 有興趣跟他一起分享寧靜美麗的星空(與分擔食宿費用)的跑友可在此留言

	多年前我曾參加過由中華民國田徑協會辦的玉山馬拉松，由塔加鞍部跑到夫妻樹再折回的馬拉松，那地方風景好，空氣清新不話下，但因路途遠，又要轉車，中華民國田徑協會只辦了一次便停辦，好可惜! 後來登山協會辦過第一屆玉山高山馬拉松，由塔塔加鞍部起跑到玉山于右任銅像再折回，當時山上氣溫是攝氏五度，冷得有點發抖，停留五分鐘便折回，最後以六小時零八分完成，那次是個很美好的經驗。但因山路狹小，危險性高，且又發生跑者意外失足跌落山谷死亡的憾事，所以只辦了一屆就停辦了。如果時間上許可，我會考慮參加。因為阿里山風景很美、空氣很清新，值得前往。

	In this case, I think the run from Mt. Ali to Mt. Jade is better. 1. It's convenient to get to Mt. Ali (by trains. Let's support the scarce mountain train), where there are lots of hotel (and promote the local businesses). 2. The course is two-lane paved road, wide enough for running. 3. Compared with "塔塔加鞍部起跑到玉山于右任銅像", this one is much easier because the elevation is only 500m or so (I guess). 3. The altitude is lower, thought still above 2000m. With careful (slow) pace, it is not that difficult to do long run. 4. It's cold, but should be fine if runners are aware of and prepare for it. It'd be better if there are hot tea/soup stations along the way:)

	聽說這叫做 "玉山盃" (見雪山一日行的討論).
