More wellness challenges

Still want to get moving? Work your way through wellness challenges on our Asia Miles by Cathay app to earn miles for extra motivation, or that you can donate for a good cause.

With our wellness journey in the app, you can earn miles for getting in your daily quota of steps and hours of sleep, and for completing activities like running, cycling, stretching and yoga. Got your five servings of fruit and vegetables? Stayed hydrated? You get miles for those too.

The app also keeps you on your toes with timed challenges such as 700 minutes of hiking across 50 days.

Every user can earn up to 2,555 miles per year – and once you’ve racked up all those miles, you can do your bit by donating them to worthy causes like Unicef’s above-mentioned “Run for Every Child” campaign, or its other efforts to provide global humanitarian aid, school supplies for pupils in need or sachets of milk for malnourished children.

If you’re interested in local causes, you can donate via the Cathay Shop to Hong Kong nonprofit Kely Support Group, which runs workshops in mental health as well as drug and alcohol abuse prevention. You can also support the organisation’s “This Hong Kong Life” podcast, which highlights the real-life stories of youths from all walks of life in the city.
