KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 11 — Malaysia Airlines is inviting cyclists and fitness enthusiasts to the “Ride Together, Fly Together” Challenge for a chance to win an all-expenses-paid cycling odyssey in Melbourne.
Winners will ride alongside MHsports Ambassador and track cycling legend Datuk Azizulhasni Awang. Known as "The Pocket Rocketman," Azizulhasni returns to the spotlight fresh from his gold medal triumph at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.
To enter, participants simply need to record a 6.5-kilometre ride on Strava between August 7 and 28. No flight booking or purchase is required to participate.
Five winners will jet off to Melbourne for an elite programme at the Joe Ciavola Velodrome, featuring training observations, a technology showcase, and a meet-and-greet with the champion. The experience peaks with a scenic 60.7-kilometre coastal ride from St Kilda to Mount Martha.
Bryan Foong, chief executive officer of Airline Business at Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), said: “MHsports was created to make travel more accessible for athletes and active communities. Together with Datuk Azizulhasni Awang, we are giving aspiring cyclists an opportunity to ride alongside one of Malaysia's greatest sporting icons.”
How to enter:
- Join the official MHsports Challenge on Strava.
- Record at least 6.5km of cycling to receive a 15 per cent discount code for your next Malaysia Airlines flight.
- Submit your achievement via the MHsports campaign page. Verified participants will receive an additional 10 per cent discount code for future flights.
Beyond the cycling, winners can explore Melbourne’s famous coffee culture and laneways, flown via the airline’s flagship A330neo. For others, promotional fares are available for booking until October 30.
Designed for the sporting fraternity, MHsports is a curated travel offering providing flexible dates, an additional 10kg baggage allowance, and complimentary pre-selected seating. To assist team managers, the service allows adding passengers up to 24 hours before ticket issuance, removing the friction from athletic travel.
