Hong Kong Athletics Association announced earlier that it would cancel the Standard Chartered Marathon originally scheduled to be held in November, but after several consultations, the Scratch Horse will be held on February 12 next year, and the specific arrangements are still not yet decided. Hong Kong Legislative Council member of the sports, performing arts, culture and publishing industry Ho Kit-kang believes that the news is a good thing for Hong Kong's sports industry and the majority of running enthusiasts. As epidemic prevention measures are expected to be gradually relaxed, I believe that the event will attract more overseas runners and tourists to Hong Kong by then, becoming one of the landmark events of Hong Kong's post-epidemic recovery.

Ho Kit-kong said that for the government actively considering the "0+7" plan for quarantine for incoming people, I believe that Hong Kong society generally hopes to relax, and the sports and cultural circles are happy to see it. If the government can implement the relevant plan as soon as possible, the industry can introduce Hong Kong's new entry policy to different sports organizations in the international community and the world as soon as possible, thereby attracting more large-scale competitions to be held.

Hong Kong Legislative Council Home Affairs Committee Chairman Zheng Yongshun also welcomed the slag Ma Yan to be held in February next year. He hoped that the government would continue to actively assist the organizers and the industry to make more complete arrangements for the details of the event and epidemic prevention.

He believes that the authorities should formulate arrangements and guidelines for the resumption of large-scale events and events, relax entry quarantine policies as soon as possible, strengthen external commentary work, so that more overseas contestants can come to Hong Kong to participate in the competition, and strive to hold more large-scale international events in Hong Kong.
