Hong Kong Cyclothon returns with wellness, waterfront escapes this November

Hong Kong’s crisp autumn air and iconic skyline set the stage for a renewed wellness escape as the 2025 Sun Hung Kai Properties Hong Kong Cyclothon returns on 30 November. The annual event once again transforms the city into a global cycling destination, with thousands of athletes and leisure riders taking over streets framed by Victoria Harbour and towering skyscrapers.

Beyond the adrenaline of race day, visitors can recharge and explore Hong Kong’s softer side — from seaside promenades to immersive fitness spaces and natural coastal retreats. The city blends energy and tranquility, creating the perfect environment for travelers seeking wellness, adventure, and recovery in one trip.

Cyclothon Carnival brings a full wellness experience

The Hong Kong Cyclothon remains the city’s largest cycling showcase, with elite competitors and casual cyclists sharing one of the world’s most cinematic urban courses. While the racing electrifies the city, the West Kowloon Cultural District hosts the Cyclothon Carnival — a gathering point for enthusiasts and families alike.

Visitors can join professional-led workshops covering classic workouts, rising sports like padel, stretching, Zumba, and more. The Carnival highlights unique activities such as penny-farthing riding, paired with live busking and a marketplace offering sports gear and refreshments, including gelato, coffee, snacks, and beer. The event blends fitness, entertainment, and local flavors, making it a vibrant stop for riders and spectators.

New waterfront sports hubs and coastal escapes enhance the experience

Travelers can continue their fitness journey at GO PARK Sai Sha, Hong Kong’s newest 1.3-million-square-foot waterfront sports and lifestyle destination. The space features outdoor pickleball courts, cycling and running tracks, padel courts, a Trackman-equipped driving range, tennis courts, a football pitch, and lacrosse fields, offering a wide range of options for active visitors.

Water-based adventures await at GO PARK Aqua, where kayaking, paddleboarding, wingfoiling, and snorkelling unfold along Sai Sha’s scenic shoreline. Visitors can also board a boat to Sham Chung, a peaceful Hakka village surrounded by lush nature, geological sites, and vibrant marine life, capped with local seafood dining experiences.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong’s reimagined waterfront continues to expand, with the East Coast Boardwalk in North Point and the Kai Tak GreenWay introducing new routes for jogging, cycling, and sunset watching. Families enjoy play zones, fitness stations, fishing platforms, and panoramic seating along Victoria Harbour, creating an inviting environment for wellness-focused exploration.

From urban energy to quiet coastal beauty, Hong Kong offers a balanced retreat that blends thrill, recovery, and discovery — making this year’s Cyclothon the perfect time to reconnect with both movement and calm.
