The "Mongol Rally" is a charity event that spans 10,000 miles from London to Ullan Baatar, the capital of Mongolia. The main idea is to drive a car with a small engine across Europe and Asia in order to raise money for official charities of the rally. Once, or if, we arrive in Mongolia our car will then be auctioned off to raise even more money for charity. Each team must raise at least £1000. There is no set route and no set time limit, it is not a race but more an adventure that will take around 4 weeks to complete but the memories and the money raised will last far longer. The rally has been running for 4 years now and has raised well over £500,000 since it's conception. Last year more than £200,000 was raised and this years rally should smash this total with an extra 200 teams from across the globe taking part.

Simple - Its an adventure unlike any other. Tourist holidays beside the hotel pool are just dull, nothing ever happens, you lie on the beach go for a drink, have a nice dinner, it's just nice and nice is boring. There is plenty of time for that when your past 40, youth should have some adventure, some endeavour, be a bit risky, unsafe and idiotic. Adrenaline should rush through your veins as you try to dodge the Russian police who just want you to give them a bribe so they can feed their 15 children on rice and peas or as you are running away from that crazy yak in the middle of the Kazakh Desert. The rally is made for people who just like to experience a sense of adventure and danger in their lives. In a world where health and safety has gone mad it is just a refreshing break from the norm. Not to forget its to raise money for charity too.
