Spend a week immersed in the heart of Sierra Leone, a country known for its warm hospitality, vibrant communities, and inspiring local initiatives. Guided by trusted local partners with deep roots in the region, you will gain a unique insight into projects that are creating lasting social and environmental impact.

By bike, you will visit rural and urban projects run by our NGO partners and meet the families benefiting from education and microfinance programmes. Along the way, you will experience a side of Sierra Leone that few visitors ever see.

The highlight of the week is a unique running event that brings together sport, cultural discovery, and meaningful engagement with local communities. Whether you choose to walk, jog, run or cycle, crossing the finish line will be more than completing a race. It will be the defining moment of a journey shaped by new perspectives, genuine connections, and shared experiences.

This is your opportunity to discover Sierra Leone beyond the headlines, connect with its welcoming people, and take part in an adventure that will stay with you long after you return home.
