Rickshaw Run

The Rickshaw Run is an event where teams drive Auto Rickshaws across various routes across India. The first route in December 2006 was from Cochin in the southern state of Kerala to Darjeeling. In its inaugural run, thirty-four teams started the event, and thirty-one of those finished. The rickshaw run has involved dangerous road incidents occurring during the 'race'.

The Rickshaw Run is organised by the Adventurists, who also organise the Mongol Rally.

Where and when

The Rickshaw Run takes place every 6 months with a Summer and Winter edition. The route changes each time but starts from the finishing point of the previous run. Inititally the route just included India but by the second Run teams were going through Nepal.
