The D’Ag Dash is a brand new multiple distance open water swim race from Hobie Cat Beach to Cape D’Aguilar on Hong Kong Island. The 4-in-1 racing event includes Hong Kong’s first-ever 10km swim race, as well as 5km, 1.8km, and 900m to suit different abilities.  

Cape D’Aguilar, or Hok Tsui (鶴咀), is the peninsula located on the southeast side of Hong Kong Island.  It shapes like a crane’s beak, thus inspired us to name the race 鶴游 (Hok Yau), which literally means Crane’s Swim. The 10km course leads to some of the most beautiful and picturesque caves and rock formations on the island. The 5km course leads to the former Cape D’Aguilar Battery from WWII.  

The 1.8km & 900m are held in the scenic Tai Tam Bay, and perfect for those who are training for a triathlon race or love to sprint.  

The D’Ag Dash is an incredible day of swimming for swimmers of all abilities.

The event is organized by AVRA and supports Splash Foundation and Nesbitt Centre.

• Splash Foundation provides free learn-to-swim lessons to the underprivileged communities in Hong Kong. It has taught thousands how to swim and some of their graduates have become active open water swimmers. Please consider sponsoring 1 or more entries at a discounted rate for Splash swimmers.  
• Nesbitt Centre has been empowering adults with learning disabilities through vocational education and social enterprises since 1993. Their projects include Sailability, Café 8, The Nest Bakery, and The Nest. Hope you enjoy the race catering from Café 8 and The Nest Bakery. You can get baking goods on race day to support the Nest Bakery, run by 4 disabled staff.
