2009年賽事是世界超級馬拉松界的一個驚嘆號！在全球最後一場的24小時賽中日本的工藤真實小姐以254.425公里創新世界記錄，讓2009年在高潮中結束。
The results of the 2009 Soochow International Ultra-marathon amount to an exclamation mark for the global ultrarunning society! Ms. Kudo's new world best performance, 254.425 kilometers in 24 hours, ensures that the world ultrarunning year of 2009 ends on a high note!
經過多年的經營，今年的籌備工作進入成熟期，工作人員在扎實的基礎上發展出新的領域與節目：為深耕學生志工參與，我們舉辦志工誓師大會；邀請今年捐款對象喜憨兒基金會工作人員來介紹該基金會運作，同時邀請去年捐助對象邱淑容女士現身說法，讓同學瞭解她的復原進度，並體驗她那樂觀不屈的精神，透過校內擺台義賣及微星公司義捐電腦組裝大賽，本校今年為喜憨兒基金會募得270,345元慈善捐款；為了鼓勵參賽者，我們在跑者破300圈後每增100圈，於場邊以舞蹈慶祝，讓會場增添熱鬧氣氛。
After 9 years, the race organization works fluently. Still, some new ideas were added. There was a pledge meeting for the student volunteers, which was a successful initiative. We introduced the Children are Us Foundation as a cooperating charity, so all volunteers could realize the satisfaction of working for charity. Plus, we invited Ms. Shu-chung Chou, the runner supported by last year's race. She gave a little speech which demonstrated the real spirit of ultrarunning, optimism and never giving up in her daily life. We accumulated 270,345 NT dollars and donated it to Children are Us Foundation this year, finally.
黃鎮台校長全天坐鎮，參與每一個節目，週六陪伴同學直到深夜，深度體認到賽事活動對本校的意義，指示明年加重對外宣傳力度，讓更多國人瞭解本校超馬賽的優越性、同仁對籌備賽事的用心以及對國家體育的貢獻。
The president of Soochow University, Dr. Jenn-tai Hwang, participated in one of the sub-marathon events and experienced the effort put out by the school's faculty and student volunteers.
世界杯冠軍關家良一先生再次衛冕成功，他已經在本賽事第五次獲得冠軍，並以263.408公里成績再度登上年度世界最佳成績。工藤真實小姐的新世界記錄同樣也是年度世界最佳成績，男女冠軍成績同時位居全世界年度排行榜首，是對本校賽事品質的最大的肯定！國內參賽者部分以12小時賽進度幅度最大，有4名參賽者的成績突破120公里，男女混合前19名均達100公里以上。
Mr. Sekiya, the three times world champion, successfully defended his title, bringing his total wins in this event to five. Moreover, his 263.408K was the world best performance for 2009. So the results of both the male and female champions were world best performances for the year. This is pretty clear evidence that our Soochow 24h race ranks as one of the best ultra races in the world.
