Calling all cyclists in Kuala Lumpur!
The OCBC Cycle Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s premier annual cycling event, is coming back on Apr. 27, 2025, at the Dataran Merdeka (Independence Square), in Kuala Lumpur.
For this year, the cycle will feature its longest ride in the city center ever – an exhilarating 50 km race that will take cyclists on a ride past iconic landmarks such as the Pavilion KL, Petronas Twin Towers (KLCC), Istana Selangor, Masjid Negara, KTM Building, and Bank Negara in two laps.
It’s an additional 8 km more than its previous edition. It’s said to be the most challenging for the anticipated 3,000 riders, with more than 2,000 pre-registering before the event’s official launch.
For a more relaxed ride, a 25 km race is available, offering cyclists a chance to enjoy the landmarks in one single lap. Apart from the individual races, cyclists can also form teams of 10 people for the 50 km KL Mayor’s Ride. Children aged 3 to 9 can also join the Kids’ Push Bike Category, making the entire event something everyone can enjoy!
The OCBC Cycle KL 2025 will have prizes for three bicycle types for adults – mountain, road, and folding bikes – for both men and women. All participants will also receive a medal and a digital certificate, along with free items from sponsors.
