Centrus Communities supports Sierra Leone’s largest cycling race – Tour de Lunsar

Centrus Communities is proud to have sponsored the Tour de Lunsar 2025, Sierra Leone’s largest cycling race, promoting an exciting future for professional cycling in West Africa.

Founded by Abdul Karim Kamara in 2013 from his bicycle repair workshop in the mining town of Lunsar, the Lunsar Cycling Team has grown into a vibrant community and a launchpad for young talent. What started as a local initiative has become a symbol of ambition and opportunity.

This year’s Tour continued to build on that legacy, drawing cyclists from across the continent and beyond. The 2025 edition featured men’s, women’s, and junior races, with the men’s event unfolding over multiple stages from Freetown to Lunsar, and the women’s and junior races finishing on a lively circuit in the town centre.

Among the standout performances were those of Ibrahim Jalloh, Joel Kyaviro, Andrew Jackson, and Mary Aleper, who all delivered thrilling racing and demonstrated the growing calibre of cycling talent in the region. To see the highlights of the 2025 Race Day click here.

Now in our third year of sponsorship, Centrus is proud to support the incredible Lunsar team and their mission to grow youth confidence, aspiration, and achievement through cycling in Sierra Leone.
