Welcome to the Arusha Cycling Club!
About the club
Over the last 8 years the Arusha Cycling Club has grown to become the most prominent and respected club in Tanzania. We have consistently produced the best cyclists in Tanzania with our club riders and teams repeatedly taking first place as well as the majority of the first 10 places in all the main races staged in Tanzania – the Karibu Arusha Cycle race (hosted by the Arusha Cycling Club), the Vodacom Mwanza race, the Dodoma race as well as other races in different regions of Tanzania. In 2011, the Arusha Cycling Club played a pivotal role in sending the first ever National Tanzania Team to the Continental Championships in Eritrea. In Dec of 2009, the club was invited to send a team to Jinja, Uganda to participate in a 3 day stage race and were able to take first place. In 2007 and 2008, the Arusha Cycling Club sent a team to the Tour de Rwanda – a 9 day stage race where they competed favourably with national teams from Rwanda, Burundi, Kenya and Uganda.
