This year’s edition offers a fresh and comprehensive array of activities and experiences for sports lovers to immerse in the city’s vibrant energy, from professional races on brand new routes in the city streets among top athletes, an iconic road-cycling experience against Hong Kong’s skyline for cycling enthusiasts, to a cycling-themed carnival with sports and entertainment experiences. Cycling enthusiasts are welcome to register in Hong Kong Cyclothon from 13 September.

HKTB Chairman Dr Peter Lam said, “Hong Kong has successfully hosted a series of major international sports events in recent years, reinforcing the city’s growing presence on the global sports stage. 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. This year’s event continues to place a strong emphasis on mass participation by hosting the most popular 50km ride, allowing cyclists to ride through ‘four tunnels, three bridges’. There is also the 32km ride which covers ‘two tunnels, two bridges’ and includes the inaugural World University Trophy, welcoming cyclists from universities in Hong Kong, Mainland and overseas, including students from some of the top 100 global institutions. The City Cycling Challenge around Greater Bay Area (Hong Kong) – Sun Hung Kai Properties Men’s and Women’s Open will feature new, more demanding routes to elevate the excitement of the competition. 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.”
