Here are some direct links to courses that they offer:

    Age Grouper Triathlon Swim Training Schedule (Sep - Oct)

At time of writing, there are few options for beginner cyclists in Hong Kong. 

Our advice is to monitor the SIR Cycling website and come along to a Saturday morning ride when you can at least meet some fellow cyclists who can advise you better.

As for running, the Thursday running group at Happy valley (see the training section) caters for all.
