Charity Rallies
A Charity Rally aimed at aid generally involves a Racing Competition in which participants ride or drive motorised vehicles to certain point and deliver services, goods and / or other types of aid to the local communities.
Other types of Charity Rallies are Business Events, Aid Events. and Business Charity Rallies require an entry fee that is either used to cover administrative costs or to support the organizing party that makes a profit of them.
In this model, it is the participants who still need to raise money for the Charity that the Rally supports.
Popular Charity Rally Events
Mongolia Charity Rally
This is arguably the most famous Charity Rally, which is a profit making rally with a focus on charity.
This Rally, however, an amazing thing to participate in, it is sometimes referred to as the world's greatest adventure.
Participating teams are completely unsupported, are required to drive small and worn out cars.
It takes place every summer and starts at one of several starting points in Western Europe.
The routes converge in Prague where the launch party is held.
From there on, the teams can choose their own route to the ending point in Ulan-Ude (a city in East Siberia, Russia).
Roof of the World Rally
Another Charity Rally that is organised by GoHelp.
This motorised journey takes place in summer and takes you from London to Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan.
The entire journey is unsupported and involves crossing mountain ranges, deserts and various other terrains.
Silk Road Race
This Rally is organised by Partenza Intelligente, is a non-profit organisation based in Milan, Italy.
Milan is where the Rally kicks off in the last week of July.
There are three main routes you can follow: (1) the northern route runs through Eastern Europe; (2) the middle route crosses countries such as Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan; (3) the southern route traverses Turkey, Iran, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
Participants are, however, free to choose any route they want.
Common Injuries
Charity Rallies are technically not a racing event.
The main points of a Charity Rally are raising money and making it all the way to the end.
However, that does not mean that there are not any risks involved.
You will spend hundreds of hours on the road, which is always a dangerous place to be, or in extreme environments, such as deserts and mountains, often driving a car which may not be the best on the market.
Collisions and other accidents happen every year, and unfortunately fatalities have been known.
