Many runners are knocking on the bowls to increase the number of applicants for "Tanaka Horse", but Zheng Zongzheng emphasized that considering the hinterland of Tanaka Town and the manpower and volunteers needed for the event, the number of participants is already the limit of 16,000.

Taking this year as an example, 13,000 people were drawn by lottery, plus the guaranteed places for local and public welfare, etc., 8,000 volunteers will be dispatched for the event alone, so it is really difficult for the marathon to increase the number of people.

Zheng Zongzheng emphasized that before he held the "Tanaka Horse", it was difficult to introduce his hometown to others. In the past few years, after the "Tanaka Horse" has been held, everyone in Taiwan knows that there is a Tanaka Town in Changhua County, which is where the event is held.

Changhua County Mayor Wang Huimei pointed out that the "Tanaka Horse" is a national marathon event, and people from all over the country are welcome to come to Tanaka to enjoy the autumn scenery of Changhua.
