HONG KONG, Oct 15 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- 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.
