From coastal trails to urban running tracks, jog your way through Hong Kong – and earn miles on your miles

Swap your Octopus card for a pair of running shoes and take to one of Hong Kong’s many running trails for a change of pace – and a healthy dose of beautiful scenery.

Over the past few years, redevelopment efforts have resulted in slick new promenades to run along with stunning city backdrops on both Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Tried and tested trails such as the beloved Bowen Road track remain popular spots for joggers, while expert runners can tack on the kilometres by taking strategic turns off gentle forested paths.

Better still, you can earn miles with every step you take. All you have to do is log your workout in the Asia Miles by Cathay app wellness journey, where you’ll be rewarded with up to 2,555 a year for your efforts.
