Test event to be broadcast live
The 15th National Games Triathlon test event will be held at the Central Harbourfront and Victoria Harbour on March 1 and 2, and members of the public are welcome to watch the races on-the-spot or via a live broadcast.
A total of around 110 athletes from the Mainland, Hong Kong and Macau will compete in the races, including 11 athletes from Hong Kong.
Fifteen teams, each comprising two male and two female athletes, will take part in the mixed relay race.
The women's individual and men's individual races are scheduled for 8am and 10.30am respectively on March 1, while the mixed relay race will take place at 2pm on March 2.
The starting point of the races will be located at the waterfront of the Wan Chai Temporary Promenade. Athletes will complete the swimming segment, immediately followed by the cycling and running segments, with the finish line at the Central Harbourfront Event Space.
It is the first time that Hong Kong holds a triathlon mixed relay event and that part of the course and public seats are placed in the Central Harbourfront Event Space to facilitate race-watchers.
People may visit the public viewing area at the Central & Western District Promenade Central Section, which is accessible from MTR Admiralty Station Exit A via Tamar Park. No seating will be arranged.
Tickets have been distributed to the public through the Triathlon Association of Hong Kong China. A small number of tickets have been reserved for each event day. Admission tickets may be obtained at the public entrance while stocks last.
Radio Television Hong Kong will provide a live webcast of the events on the two days at the dedicated webpage and its YouTube channel.
