Lin Han Quan

One of the best known endurance athletes in Asia. Together with Charlie Engle and Ray Zahab, we have became the first modern runners to cross the Sahara Desert in 2017.

I have been a successful entrepreneur in the sports industry for over ten years, and I have worked across many business functions, including operation and sales, management, project management, finance and taxation, human resources, etc.

The sports business in Taiwan has been shallow in the past few decades, but I squeezed out of the bottom and made a way to break through all obstacles, which led to Taiwan's sports and marathon market booming.

As an inspiring entrepreneur, I seek to challenge the next different commercial runway, hoping to find a field other than the sports industry with past practical business experience and professional knowledge. Thus, the current company's operation has been transferred to professional chief officers and managers.

I am passionate and committed to organizing charity marathons and helping others to go beyond their limitations through running. I have been a professional marathon runner for over 30 years and have participated in more than 70 marathons worldwide.

I organized and led a team of runners across the Sahara Desert in 2006, the ancient Silk Road in 2011, and the Great Gobi in 2013. The above challenges are the only human-long March Expedition in history.
