The Adventurists

Cool Earth is the proud official charity partner of The Adventurists.

The Adventurists fight to make the world less boring. With ludicrous adventures in the most unlikely places, generations of reckless explorers have been backing people to protect rainforest and fight the climate crisis.

Think you’ve got what it takes?

Since 2013 teams of Adventurists have raised over £2.2 million for Cool Earth and the communities we support.

This incredible achievement has only been possible due to thousands of individuals. People who spend weeks adventuring across Mongolia in the Mongol Rally, dodging trucks in India on the Rickshaw Runs or weaving their way through on tiny bikes at Monkey Runs.

Alongside their astonishing ability to raise money for Cool Earth, The Adventurists have exciting plans to reduce their impact on the environment. To start, they are switching to electric rickshaws and giving free electric conversions to India’s rickshaw wallas to help reduce emissions.

Join them in backing people to protect rainforest today and start your fundraising adventure now.

Hall of Fame

Do you have what it takes to join the ranks amongst Cool Earths fundraising champions?

The Bee Team

The Bee Team took their Rickshaw Run preparations pretty seriously. From a 100km trail event along the Jurassic Coast in their home county of Dorset to entering and running six marathons in nine weeks, whilst road tripping around Europe, the Bee Team was ready to conquer the race to Jaisalmer with their Queen Bee.

The Bee Team

Team Marlix

Team Marlix have gone rogue, choosing the most northern of the northern routes for their Mongol Rally 2018 adventure. Luckily it’s worked well for them and their trusty mount, Gregorij the Golf, raising over £12,000.

The Royal Flush

Team Royal Flush set out with a big ambition, to raise two thousand pounds for Cool Earth. Some thought it foolish, some unachievable, but these two have proved the doubters wrong and absolutely smashed their target raising over £4,000, before even going on their adventure.

Team Bald Bros

Christian and Tobias have been picking up the old dog and bone to call their friends and family, pestering them to donate and save the world. They've done exceptionally good work, raising well over their target before their Adventure has even begun.

Les Escargots

George and Richard smashed their fundraising target of £2,000 and ended up raising £4,153 for Cool Earth. Read on here to find out how they got on their Rickshaw Run from Jaisalmer to Cochin.

The Adventurists are committed to transitioning to increasingly lower impact forms of transport for their adventures.

Electric rickshaws have been on trial (for which they are not building new, but instead replacing engines in existing rickshaws) and will be launched at 2022 Rickshaw Rallies.

They are also supporting thousands of local rickshaw drivers across India with free electric conversions and looking at lower impact ways for participants to travel to events.

The Adventurists are adapting other events too, with electric monkey bikes in the works.
