The Major Sports Events Committee announced today that it has awarded “M” Mark status to the 2025 Sun Life Hong Kong International Dragon Boat Races, which will be held in Victoria Harbour, by Tsim Sha Tsui East Promenade, from June 7 to 8.

Major Sports Events Committee Chairman Wilfred Ng said the event is the largest dragon boat race in Hong Kong and combines sporting endeavour with traditional culture, attracting elite teams and dragon boat athletes from various countries and regions to compete fiercely and vie for honour.

He added that the race not only promotes dragon boating but also attracts many overseas travellers to the city, strengthening Hong Kong's status as a centre for major international sports events.
