The Adventurists

If you're looking for a fun adventure, have a bit of time on your hands, and don't mind stepping out past "safe," you need to meet the Adventurists.

Their motto is "Fighting to Make the World Less Boring," and they seem to be doing just that. Using zany adventures to raise money for charities, the Adventurists have come up with (and continue to come up with) a number of wacky-but-incredibly-fun-looking events, including:

• Mongol Rally - 10,000 mile race in compact cars, from England to Mongolia.
• Mototaxi Junket - 3-wheeled madness across Peru.
• The Ice Run - A race across Siberia. In the heart of winter.
• Rickshaw Run - Across India in their ubiquitous form of transportation: the rickshaw.
