Rickshaw Run

The first route in December 2006 was from Kochi, in the southern state of Kerala, to Darjeeling, in West Bengal.

[citation needed] In its inaugural run, 34 teams started the event, and 31 of those finished.

[citation needed] The rickshaw run has involved dangerous road incidents occurring during the 'race'.

[citation needed] The Rickshaw Run takes place every 4 months in January, April and August in India.

[citation needed] Initially the route just included India but by the second Run teams were going through Nepal.

The teams that went the central route travelled more than 4000 km in their rickshaws on some of the worst roads in India.
