The purpose of this study is to explore a running culture in Taiwan. After more than three years of personal running experience and taking field notes of what I have been observing and witnessing, from the earliest 5 km to the final 54 km challenge, through the practice and reflection of self-dialogue, this ethnography was finally accomplished and summed up the five cultural phenomena of road running sports: road running societies being set up one after another, various kinds of sports injuries, the unlimited marathon business opportunities, unveiling different phases of runners'' playful heart and refining the value of life. These phenomena are derived from self-pursuit and the self-fulfillment of dreams, hoping to beome a faster and longer-distance runner. |
