According to the statistics collected by Garmin, Taipei had invested about 1.11 trillion NTD in the scale of the sports industry in 2015. Among all sports, business opportunities for the road running have already created an amount that exceeds 16 billion NTD each year. Recently, the road-running event engages more people to join in, and there is a diversity of road running events featuring all kinds of topics. If further estimates are applied to evaluate the economic output value for the tournament event, there will be a great demand for potential opportunities generated by the participation fees, traffic and accommodations and peripheral equipment and products. Indirectly, it motivates the people who are willing to engage in the sports and recreation industry to invest in its related industry. The current session has introduced two cases with the brand subsidy known as the “Project of Subsidies and Incentives for Industrial Development in Taipei City,” respectively. They are the “SURPERACE athlete from the deserts” built by the expert in desert races Kevin Lin, and the “RunBase” with subsidy for start-ups, which are the best supply stations for runners to get energized.
