“M” Mark status awarded to New World Harbour Race 2024

The following is issued on behalf of the Major Sports Events Committee:
 
      The Major Sports Events Committee (MSEC) has awarded "M" Mark status to the New World Harbour Race 2024 (November 10).
 
      The Chairman of the MSEC, Mr Wilfred Ng, said today (November 6), "The Harbour Race, being Hong Kong's most iconic water sports event, attracts swimmers and spectators from around the world to enjoy the beautiful scenery along both sides of the Victoria Harbour while participating in or watching the race. Like other 'M' Mark events, the Harbour Race will inject new vitality into local developments while further solidifying Hong Kong's status as a capital of major sports events."
 
     The "M" Mark System aims to encourage and help local "national sports associations" and private or non-government organisations organise more major international sports events and nurture them into sustainable undertakings. Sports events meeting the assessment criteria will be granted "M" Mark status by the MSEC. Funding support will also be provided to some events.
