At about 5 a.m., Premier Sun Yun-suan, Taipei Mayor Lee Teng-hui and Wesley Paul, the record holder in 17 long-distance events for youths under 17 in the U.S., arrived to take part in the "Good morning jog" parade.
中華民國行政院長孫運璿，台北市長李登輝，和旅美長跑小將蒲仲強，也在五點多到達，參加這個盛會。六點正舉行升旗典禮。當沉厚雄渾的國歌聲緩緩揚起時，澎湃的聲浪把數隊歇在簷角的鴿子驚得飛了起來。廣場前方二十一公尺長的旗台，是為了這次活動特地趕造的。
