Super Sprint triathlon happening at the HKFC in June but you may need to be a member and it's a silly team thing.

There are tons of opportunities nearby in Phil, China, Thailand, Sg, Macau
It's not a huge scene but it's active and friendly
The one at Disney sounds interesting, I saw something on that as well, so it looks like it is on for sure. Also, there are a few Hong Kong triathlon groups on Facebook.
The one at Disney is organize by UNICEF...
Don't think so it's organized by the HK triathlon association and sponsored by OSIM.
