Cross Harbour Race cuts final leisure wave amid strong currents

The Cross Harbour Race was held in Wan Chai this morning.

Organisers cancelled the final wave of leisure group race due to strong currents and the need to return the venue on schedule.

It affected around 700 swimmers, who will have their entry fees refunded.

President of the Hong Kong China Swimming Association Ronnie Wong apologised to the affected participants, adding organisers will consider granting them priority entry for next year's race.
