Shu Pu announced, “The registration for the Cold Half, Cold Plunge, and ColdXtreme will close today at midnight.
The Cold Half Extreme Marathon Swim is a 15 km marathon swimming race in Hong Kong. The Cold Plunge is a 1.5 km open water swim. And the 115 km ColdXtreme Challenge is a 15 km open water swim + 80 km bike + 20 km run that can either done as a solo or as a duo team.
Pu continues, “Sign up here. Watch here for race information and schedule updates.
As part of our tradition, we have set up a 1+1 bundle option so that swimmers can opt to pay an extra $300 to sponsor a Splash Swimmer to race the 1.5 km Cold Plunge for free. So far we received sponsors for 12 spots. 16 Splashers registered to race this year, therefore we are still looking for 4 slots to be sponsored.
The Splash Foundation provides free learn-to-swim lessons to the underprivileged communities in Hong Kong. The Foundation has taught thousands of people how to swim and some of their graduates have become active open water swimmers.
