Cyclists, clear your calendar! Hong Kong is gearing up for a high-energy weekend that blends fitness, family fun, and waterfront views. On November 30, the Sun Hung Kai Properties Hong Kong Cyclothon returns with its biggest edition yet, welcoming over 6,000 cyclists from across the globe to ride through the city’s most iconic landmarks.
Organized by the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) and sponsored by Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP), the event features a mix of competitive and leisure rides, including the 50km and 32km routes that span the Tsing Ma Bridge, Stonecutters Bridge, and the Central-Wan Chai Bypass.
For the first time, the City Cycling Challenge will introduce a more demanding course in Hong Kong, designed for experienced riders seeking a thrill.
But the Cyclothon isn’t just for athletes. A Cyclothon Carnival will be held at West Kowloon Cultural District offering a full day of entertainment for all ages with live music, street performances, food stalls, and interactive zones featuring emerging sports.
Families can also join the Family Fun Ride, a new waterfront route with playful parent-child challenges, while the Celebrity Charity Ride adds star power and heart, with all proceeds benefiting The Community Chest of Hong Kong.
“The Hong Kong Cyclothon is a true highlight of our sporting calendar, offering locals and visitors an exceptional competitive cycling experience and showcasing the city’s ability to blend sport with tourism,” said Dr. Peter Lam, HKTB Chairman. “Looking ahead, the HKTB aims to expand the Hong Kong Cyclothon across the Greater Bay Area and work in partnership with neighbouring destinations to build a world-class tourism brand for the region.”
SHKP is also rolling out exclusive perks for participants, including hotel and dining packages through SHKP Club, The Point, and GO Royal. Meanwhile, the debut of the World University Trophy invites top student cyclists from around the world to compete, adding a global flair to the festivities.
Registration opened on September 13 at Discover Hong Kong’s website with entry fees ranging from HK$100 to HK$600 depending on category.
