Hong Kong Cyclothon Returns

The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) has announced the return of the much-anticipated Sun Hung Kai Properties Hong Kong Cyclothon on 16th January 2022. This would be a hybrid format event on a new stunning route, with free virtual race from 3rd – 16th January 2022 and the physical event for HK residents on 16th January 2022.

The physical event will include the Hong Kong Section of the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge (HZMB) for the first time. The HZMB is a massive maritime bridge that connects Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macao. It is the world’s longest bridge-tunnel system sea crossing, traversing the waters of the Lingdingyang channel in the Pearl River Estuary. Started in 2015, the Hong Kong Cyclothon has attracted 1,700 local and international cyclists to take part in the unique cycling experience in the city.

“This year’s Hong Kong Cyclothon will not only be the first sports event held on the world’s longest bridge-tunnel sea crossing as it is taking a whole route on the HZMB but also the first time a virtual experience has been incorporated into the event, offering cyclists worldwide who are unable to take part physically a thrilling and immersive experience of racing over the landmark bridge. These special features are a pilot run for future intercity events in the Greater Bay Area and consolidate Hong Kong’s status as the international tourism event capital in the GBA. I sincerely hope participants from other cities in the Area will come and ride with us in the years to come,” Dane Cheng, Executive Director, HKTB said.
