Participants can choose between a 56km Ride, which introduces an all-new enhanced route, or a 32km Ride that offers a shorter yet equally rewarding journey.
Both routes take cyclists through some of Hong Kong’s most recognisable landmarks, while showcasing panoramic views of Victoria Harbour, the city’s striking skyline and vibrant neighbourhoods.
More than 6,000 cyclists from around the world are expected to take part this year.
Registration opens at 10am on August 20, offering visitors the chance to combine a signature sporting event with the city’s vibrant culture and outdoor attractions.
The excitement continues off the bike with the Cyclothon Carnival at the West Kowloon Cultural District, where visitors, participants and families can enjoy a full day of activities from morning until evening.
Featuring sports experiences, entertainment, family-friendly activities and a variety of food offerings, the carnival adds another dimension to the event while showcasing Hong Kong’s lively atmosphere beyond the cycling routes.
