About the Taiwan KOM Challenge 

The Taiwan KOM Challenge has rapidly gained stature in recent years as perhaps the toughest one-day cycling event in the world. 

Taiwan’s KOM Challenge for 2026 is an incredible event. 105 kilometres long, most of which is uphill!

Starting  on the East coast of Taiwan near the town of Hualien,  the event will culminate on the Wuling Pass at a lofty altitude of 3275 metres.

Professionals, elite riders and keen amateurs all start together in this unique and exciting event.  

The likes of Vincenzo Nibali, Cadel Evans, Laurens Ten Dam, Marianne Vos and Simon Yates have raced the event in recent years, so who knows who we’ll be rubbing shoulders with on the start line in 2026?

The KOM Challenge is a terrific chance to take in the culture of amazing Taiwan.

We carefully design our Taiwan KOM Challenge tour to incorporate spectacular warm up rides in the lead-up to the event. This means that riders will experience much of the best riding in Taiwan before doing the event itself.

There’ll be lots of time to take in the sights, with high-quality hospitality and accommodation. 

Entry to the Taiwan KOM Challenge is guaranteed and included in the trip price.
