Getting into the action

After a break of just over a year, the Action Asia challenge is back at Fulung, though this time a new race format aims to draw larger numbers of participants

In 2003, the Action Asia team had thought to bring a race to southern Taiwan, but Maddess said that the previous Fulung Race had not fully showcased the potential of the area for adventure racing.

"We shall probably stick to northern Taiwan for the moment," he said, "and only move south when we need to find fresh routes."

The race was held in Sun Moon Lake in 2002, but this so far has been the only venture outside northern Taiwan.
