Great North Run
Head to Newcastle for Britain’s Biggest Mass Participation Event.
Date: Saturday 14th September 2013

Rickshaw Run
Following the success of our Indonesian ‘tuk ‘tuk boom’ trio last year, we simply had to give this event a mention. If an epic journey spanning 3,500 kms in a 7 horsepower glorified lawnmower excites your imagination, read on! This year, the Rickshaw Run takes place in India. It’s easily the least sensible thing to do with two weeks but if you are looking for a hair-raising adventure of a lifetime…
There are two expeditions in 2013 – one in April and one in September – click here for more info.
