“Sun Hung Kai Properties Hong Kong Cyclothon 2024” Concludes with Resounding Success

HONG KONG, Oct 15 (Bernama) -- Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) Hong Kong Cyclothon 2024, a large-scale outdoor sports extravaganza, organised by the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB), drew to a pleasant close today (October 13). The cyclists had the unique opportunity to navigate through Hong Kong’s vibrant urban landscape and major roads on routes that were specially enhanced this year. On top of the cycling activities, the event was extended to non-cyclists with the first-ever “Cyclothon Carnival” at Wonderland in the West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD). The new addition offered locals and tourists alike a multitude of engaging activities, including novel sports experiences, a sports-themed market, an art zone, a gourmet corner, active recovery and performances, and much more, allowing both cyclists and the general public to share the same active fun together.

Dr Pang Yiu-kai, HKTB Chairman, said, “The annual ‘SHKP Hong Kong Cyclothon’ is Hong Kong’s grandest and most extensive cycling celebration. The HKTB aspires to promote sports tourism through various sports mega events in town and establish Hong Kong as a sports and wellness tourism destination. This year, we elevated the overall experience with enhanced routes for the cyclists, while presenting the first Cyclothon Carnival in WKCD, open to both local participants and tourists to encourage a wider audience to enjoy our city’s sports mega events and get a taste of Hong Kong’s boundless energy.”
