The Hong Kong Association of Athletics Affiliates (HKAAA) announced on Sept 16, the cancellation of the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2022 event planned for Sunday, Nov 20 as it had not received a formal approval notice from the Hong Kong government for the event. The delay in HKGov’s response has caused the association to cancel the event.
The HKAAA explained that the race was supposed to commence in two months and there isn’t enough time for preparations. For fairness and for the sake of the runners and stakeholders, the organizer has no choice but to cancel this year’s event.
