The Rickshaw Run is about to cover 3500 kilometers across India for Charity

The majesty of Jaisalmer will see of the participants before they set off on the 4^th of April. The challenging part of this race is yet to be mentioned. The teams will have no definite route throughout the journey. They will have no back up and no support. All they will have is their rickshaw and themselves for travelling India. They will just have the appointment with their teams at the finish line which is in Shillong. They have to face all the hurdles and hindrances by themselves and by hook or crook they have to make it to the finish line by 16^th of April.

The event manager Mathew Dickens who had been at the Rickshaw Run helm for over 6 years states it rightly that the event has its lighter side too. There is a strong message that this event delivers to the society. The participants of this event get the chance to experience real Indian beauty. Unlike the typical holiday packages, this event provides less help to the participants. Lesser the support, participants will get, more they will learn to rely on themselves and friends. Moreover the heart-warming generosity of Indian people helps the participants to cope up with their loss in the event. This event also introduce to the participants the lesser seen sides of Jaisalmer and Shillong which hide much vibrant beauty. The most interesting part of this event is that it raises huge funds which are transferred to the worthy charities across the nation. The Rickshaw Run has raised over two million pounds, till now and has given support to the Cool Earth society to save 150,000 trees in most endangered rainforest on earth.
