Charity Rallies
Other types of Charity Rallies are business events and Aid Events. 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.
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.
Popular Charity Rally Events
The Mongolia Charity Rally is organised by GoHelp, a charity that is based in the United Kingdom. The Rally is an epic 16,000 kilometre journey from London to Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia. There are two main routes the northern route runs from the British capital to the Mongolian capital via Moscow, while the southern route takes in countries such as Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan.
Roof of the World Rally is another Charity Rally that is organised by GoHelp is the Roof of the World Rally. This motorised journey takes place in summer and takes you from London to Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan. The launch of this charity rally usually coincides with the Mongolia Charity Rally. The entire journey is unsupported and involves crossing mountain ranges, deserts and various other terrains. There are four possible routes you can follow.
Silk Road Race, which is organised by Partenza Intelligente, a non-profit organisation based in Milan, Italy. Milan is also where the Rally kicks off in the last week of July. There are three main routes you can follow the northern runs through Eastern Europe; the middle route crosses countries such as Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan; and the southern route traverses Turkey, Iran, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Participants are, however, free to choose any route they want.
Mongol Rally is arguably the most famous Charity Rally is the Mongol Rally, which unlike the previous three rallies is a profit making rally with a focus on charity. The Mongol Rally is, however, an amazing thing to participate in, it is sometimes referred to as the worlds greatest adventure. In the Mongol Rally, 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 Mongolia.
Common Injuries
Charity Rallies are not technically races. The main points of a Charity Rally are raising money and making it all the way to the end. That does not mean that there are not any risks involved, though. 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. Collisions and other accidents happen every year even fatalities are not uncommon.
