This year’s race takes a new route. Starting at the Golden Bauhinia Square Public Pier in Wanchai swimmers will traverse the beautiful Victoria Harbour and emerge at the Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui.

HKGSA President Mr Ronnie Wong said: “The Harbour Race is back, overcoming the pandemic. With this year’s new route, swimmers will be able to enjoy the beautiful Victoria Harbour view from a new perspective. We look forward to giving everyone an even more enjoyable experience with our new arrangements.”
