About 6,000 cyclists hit the roads for the mega event Sun Hung Kai Properties Hong Kong Cyclothon

This year’s Sun Hung Kai Properties Hong Kong Cyclothon concluded successfully in October, bringing together nearly 6,000 passionate cycling enthusiasts for a spectacular day of sport and charity. Embodying SHKP’s spirit of Sports for Charity, the funds raised during the event amounting of over HK$1.5million — alongside contributions from the Group — will be donated to The Community Chest of Hong Kong to support cancer-related projects.

This year’s event offered a thrilling array of six cycling experiences and races, including the challenging 50km and 32km rides as well as the City Cycling Challenge around the Greater Bay Area (Hong Kong) — the SHKP Men’s and Women’s Open races. A highlight of the event was the participation of four-time Tour de France champion Chris Froome in the 50km ride and the CEO Charity and Celebrity Ride. Group Executive Director Adam Kwok said, “SHKP is proud to be the title and charity sponsor of the Hong Kong Cyclothon for the seventh time. A fantastic showcase to the world of Hong Kong’s vibrant culture and beauty, this event welcomed Chris Froome and a sports carnival held for the first time by the Hong Kong Tourism Board in the West Kowloon Cultural District for both residents and tourists to experience the joy of sports.”

The day before the Cyclothon, Froome met with local young cyclists at GO PARK Sai Sha — SHKP’s new integrated landmark near Ma On Shan — and was full of praise for the stunning views of the surroundings as well as the diverse sports facilities available there.
