Last Chance For A Cold Plunge At The Cold Half
Courtesy of Shu Pu, Doug Woodring, Hong Kong. The 7th Cold Half Extreme Marathon Swim & Cold Plunge races will be held in Hong Kong next Saturday, January 26th.
Race director Shu Pu said, “The weather is going to be warm – sunny and up to 22°C forecasted.
The 15 km Cold Half might not be for everyone, but the 1.5 km Cold Plunge is a great distance for most.
The entry fee includes a custom made stylish watercolor swim cap, a guest pass to Victoria Recreation Club for hot shower and change room, a BBQ buffet, as well as a custom made sports towel for all finishers.
In the meantime, 10 graduate swimmers from local non-profit Splash Foundation are sponsored by us and a philanthropic triathlete to join the Cold Plunge this year.
