Sports
Macau is fast developing a reputation as an international venue for top-sporting events. At present the Macau Stadium is the prime venue for football, track and field and athletic competitions, however a new stadium is being built in good time for 2005 when Macau hosts the East Asia Games. Already an Olympic swimming pool has opened for the games and other facilities, for indoor and outdoor sports are under construction. For amateur athletes there are plenty of facilities. On Guia Hill there is a jogging track and exercise equipment, and the trails on Taipa and Coloane Islands are very popular with joggers and hikers. On Coloane there is also the Centro de Formao Juvenil D. Bosco (Youth Formation Centre) with indoor and outdoor sport facilities available to the public. For reservation please call: (853) 881836.


The Macau Grand Prix roars into town in the third week of November, and tickets for this event sell fast. If you want to try a bit of motor racing yourself, zoom over to the Go-Carting tracks in Coloane, on reclaimed land near Coloane Park, where the engines rev up to break-neck speeds.


For a more urbane mode of travel, hire a bike and explore the beaches and quaint old streets of Taipa or Coloane. If you are in search of a peaceful retreat, try the Coloane Hiking Trail or a round of golf at the course that hosts the Macau Open. Joggers pack your running shoes and vest because the Macau Marathon runs one of the most photogenic courses on the international long-distance circuit.


Horse and greyhound racing
The Macau Jockey Club is fully equipped with modern facilities and has assembled a cosmopolitan group of trainers, riders and administrators while horses are being imported from several countries in order to provide racing of international standards. Visitors can comfortably enjoy the races in the air-conditioned grand-stand where Chinese and European cuisines are served. With private boxes and air-conditioned grandstand, Club members and public can enjoy the races, whether watching them live, on the Diamond Vision or the closed-circuit television monitors.


Summer recess is usually in between late June and early September. During June, when the weather is hot, races are conducted in the evening. Greyhound Racing takes place at the Canidrome on Avenida General Castelo Branco. These races are held on Mondays, Thursdays and weekends starting from 8:00 p.m. and there are 14 games on every racing evenings.
