A few days ago, a thoroughly battered collection of people and their Monkey bikes, came across the finish line in Morocco…almost elegantly.

Against all mechanical odds, they survived questionable tracks, roadside bodgery, rattling engines and the sort of terrain that makes anyone seriously reconsider their life choices.

And what better way to celebrate than with a finish line full of tiny motorbikes, a proper racket from the drummers and enough celebratory cans to keep everyone suitably hydrated.

It’s been a week and a half since the Rickshaw Run India came to a gloriously unhinged end, and we’ve only just recovered enough brain cells to acknowledge that it actually happened.

After thousands of kilometres of mechanical misery, questionable navigation and an alarming amount of faith placed in their three-wheeled death traps, our team’s rolled into the finish line.

And naturally, things got a bit out of hand.

There were rickshaws pulling wheelies, a spectacular explosion of floral trousers, emotional goodby with battered tuk-tuks and enough celebratory beverages to explain why it’s taken us this long to post anything.

Some hugged their rickshaws and a few appear to have lost the ability to stand upright altogether.

We have a few spots remaining for Januarys edition, and plenty more for 2027 runs altogether. Get yourself signed up and make your life less boring.

Over in Morocco, there’s been roadside repair sessions, suspicious quantities of engine oil, questionable puddle crossings and enough luggage strapped to tiny bikes to make a structural engineer weep.

Somewhere between the makeshift garages, mechanical meltdowns and increasingly creative interpretations of what constitutes a functioning motorcycle, they’ve almost started to look like they know what they’re doing.

Almost.

A few spaces remain for our January edition, so sign up soon if you don’t want to start your year stuck at home. www.theadventurists.com

Our rickshaws over in Sri Lanka have been rattling along rocky mountain tracks, winding through jungle-covered hills, and discovering that three wheels and a lawnmower-sized engine are ideal combination for tackling Sri Lanka’s more questionable roads.

There have been lakeside photo shoots, some spectacularly muddy detours, and a few suspiciously artistic tyre marks in fields where rickshaws probably had no business being.

The Monkey Run Morocco is well and truly underway, and our weary fools are busy proving that you don’t need a proper motorbike to have a proper adventure.

Armed with tiny, wildly inappropriate machines, they’ve been rattling through towering red-rock canyons, cruising past turquoise lakes, and hauling their trusty steeds up ancient ruins and rocky outcrops for absolutely no practical reason whatsoever.

Fancy joining for the next run? Head to www.the adventurists.com and make your life less boring.

The Rickshaw Run Sri Lanka kicked off a few days ago, and our bunch of mechanically optimistic fools are already making a spectacular mess of getting from A to B.

So far, we’ve had rickshaw doughnuts on deserted beaches, questionable detours through dense jungle, torrential downpours, and the occasional bit of human horsepower when the engine decides it’s had enough.

The Monkey Run Morocco has officially kicked off, and our next batch of idiots have been unleashed into the desert on motorcycles roughly the size of a household appliance.

After a bit of sand-based tomfoolery, some questionable riding techniques and the ceremonial draining of the Monkey Run punch, our intrepid fools have pointed their tiny steeds towards the great Moroccan unknown.

Towering dunes, endless dusty tracks and enough sand to find its way into places sand has absolutely no business being.

The Rickshaw Run Sri Lanka has officially kicked off, and another collection of questionable decision-makers have been unleashed upon the island.

After a healthy dose of pre-launch faffing, some spectacularly dodgy outfits and a group photo featuring more lunatics than you can shake a coconut at, the teams have fired up their three-wheeled death traps and set off into the tropical unknown.

We've been in the Sahara to see if we could offer any practical or emotional support to our next cohort of Monkey Run Morocco riders.

Regardless of our success or otherwise in doing so, they have now wobbled forth into Morocco as they attempt to cross the Sahara and then the Atlas mountains on a bike not even particularly suitable for carrying the weight of a toothbrush.

So you can get a sense of what they'll be up to over the next week, we attach a route map and some pictures from the last two Monkey Run escapades into Morocco. It's a perfect blend of beauty, despair and nonsense. Exactly how we hope a good adventure will turn out.

You can follow their progress (or lack thereof) here, or on our live tracking map at theadventurists.com.

And if you fancy your chances at attempting such adventuring nonsense, the next Monkey Run leaves on 1st January 2027. We believe it forms part of any promising new year's resolution to bring higher levels of elegance into one's life. Link is in our profile.

The Rickshaw Run All India Flavour officially wrapped up yesterday, with our merry band of idiots somehow making it from the deserts of Jaisalmer to the tropical delights of Kochi.

But before we get stuck into the finish line debauchery, here’s one last helping of nonsense from the road.

We’ve had rickshaws hurtling through palm-lined roads, questionable encounters with local livestock, spectacular mountain views and what appears to be a three-wheeled firework display. Standard stuff.

Fancy starting 2027 with a truly terrible idea? We’ve still got a few spots left on the next Rickshaw Run. Get your name down before someone nabs your seat.
