The annual Wuhan International River Crossing Festival will kick off on July 16. The swimming races will begin at the Hanyangmen Pier in Wuchang District and finish at Hanyangzui on the south beach.
The race will be 1,800m long, with the grand prize (for male and female contests) being 10,000 USD. Runners up and third place swimmers will win prizes of 6,000 and 3,000 USD respectively.
