The six students of the group come from four different families; four of whom are from Kuang-ming Elementary, one is a seventh-grade student from Tunghai Junior High School and the sixth, the only female student, is a recent graduate from Hualien Ming Yih Primary School. By participating in this bike trip, the students were able to get to know the land in which they grew up.
After the Taitung Ironman Third Prince group leader, Hsieh Ming-fei, recently found out about the bike trip, he decided to make, Nezha, the member who is responsible for biking challenges, to accompany the four families on their round-island trip and lead the students to complete their impresseve feat under their own steam.

Hsieh said that originally it was purely a guided bike trip, but the fire accident at Formosa Fun Coast water park took place before they began the journey, with five hundred people injured and many people still struggling for their lives. After having a discussion with the students, Hsieh decided to complete the ten-day trip while praying for the victims of the fire and to also bring Third Prince tee shirts, socks, backpacks and various other items for the students to sell for charity at each rest stop while they take breaks.
