為確保參賽者的安全和賽事的適宜性，較長距離的賽事設有以下經驗要求：
We are pleased to inform you that the 2025 Formosa Trail 104km has been selected as a qualifying race for the 2027 Western States 100. Runners who complete the race within 28 hours will qualify to enter a lottery where the runners for Western States will be selected. You do not need to submit anything to us; we will obtain the results directly from your website.
The qualifying period for the 2027 Western States will be from November 6, 2025, through November 3, 2026. The lottery will be held in December 2026, and the race itself will be run on June 2027.
Drop Bag for 104km Participants
During race pack collection, 104km participants will receive one white bag with your BIB number clearly written on it for their drop bag intended for Checkpoint C1=C2.
Before the race start, you must deposit your designated cpC drop bag in the marked “drop bag cpC” area at the starting point, near the finisher arch.
These drop bags will be available at cpC1=cpC2 from 10:00 AM onwards and will be transported back to the race venue after 11:30 PM on Saturday.
You are responsible for collecting your drop bag from the venue by 10:00 AM on Sunday. Any uncollected bags after this time may be disposed of or reused by the organizers. If you withdraw (DNF) at cpC, you will be able to retrieve your drop bag there.
Please be aware that the race organizers are not responsible for any loss or damage to the contents of your drop bag. We strongly advise against placing valuable items in these bags.
Remember that there is specific mandatory equipment required for the entire course (including a headlamp, jacket, whistle, phone with a Taiwan operator SIM card, space blanket, etc.).
What to consider including in your drop bag? The section ahead involves a significant 1500m of vertical ascent, and you will be heading into the night, where temperatures may drop:

The official Formosa Trail course will be marked with BEAST RED/WHITE or ORANGE ribbons featuring REFLECTIVE stripes. Please note that other ribbons you may encounter are not official Formosa Trail markings, though they might help you stay on a general trail.
In addition to ribbons, we will use supplementary signage at important intersections (e.g., Intersection X, Y, Z or significant turns). At these points, you must navigate independently.
It is mandatory to have a GPS device with the course installed and to know how to use it.
There are numerous reflective TAGs along the course, visible with a headlamp. These TAGs are primarily placed leading to cpA1 and from 大尖山 Dajian Mountain to the finish line.
