Come and thunder along rocky ledges impersonating highways this September. We’ve got 3 spots left on the Monkey Run Peru and we’ve knocked £200 off the entry fee.

Dangle off the edge of the Andes and ride through tunnels carved straight through the rock on your way to the Amazon jungle finish line.

This is 8 days of old school adventure on a 90cc monkey bike.

The September 2024 edition is the cheapest this adventure will ever be, making this an excellent time to get yourself a slice of South American chaos.

Monkey Run Mongolia riders thundered over the finish line yesterday. There was black tie attire, head bandages, monkey bike worship, beers all over the place and many a hearty slap on the back for making it across the Steppe and into the Gobi Desert.

Plus the chap in the last photo who got a bit excited and forgot about the 'keep your pants on' memo.

The next edition has £250 off right now and there are a few spots left.

Our photo of the day in Mongolia has been claimed by Miss Francesca who is “ Off to battle”. Who she is battling in the middle of no where is anyone’s guess.

It’s a well known fact that a money bike can outrun any storm. As shown in this glorious shot taken by Miss Kate. No vehicle has ever wielded such power, bravo. Swipe for more of our favourite shots on the road in Mongolia.

It can be strange what you come across in the middle of nowhere. A rather splendid looking office chair presented itself to these chaps and a well earned break from the luxury of the finest monkey bike leather was had.

There's only a few days left now on the road for these fools - watch them as the approach the finish line as a pace only a monkey bike is familiar with: https://www.followmychallenge.com/live/the-adventurists/monkey-run-mongolia-july-2024/

For a Photo to be accepted as an entry into the Photo of the day competition, it must contain a Monkey bike. If you squint really hard and point your eyes to the bottom left corner of todays winning photo you may just see a person, on a bike, struggling uphill. For whatever reason it has entertained the judges today and Nico has won all the glory.

They're just over halfway now and you can see how far they've got here: https://www.followmychallenge.com/live/the-adventurists/monkey-run-mongolia-july-2024/

Day 2 on the road in Mongolia saw many monkeys being commandeered by an army of youngsters, after all, they are the appropriate size for the little beasts. Kate wins the Photo Of The Day for her excellent shot of seven locals falling in love with some Monkeys.

Our Monkeys have spent a whole day on the so called "roads" of Mongolia. With each run comes the Photo Of The Day winner.

Today has been won by Mr Michael accompanied splendidly by the words "Left or Right?" we hope he chose neither and went straight down the middle.

Monkey Run Mongolia July 2024 kicked off at the weekend. First up the riders met their monkeys and familiarised themselves with the raw power of a 50cc mini bike by ploughing through mud and roaming around the open steppe.

The remote start camp is next to the extinct volcanoes in the Uran Togoo and Tulga Mountains up north... a spectacular spot to start a ridiculous adventure.

We've got spaces on the next edition in September and we've knocked £100 off. Come alone and join a convoy or round up some fellow fools.

"It's a stupidly fun adventure. The bike is as awesome as it is small, a real head turner... I need to go back to it now" - Vic on the Monkey Run Morocco in May.⁠

The next edition in October is almost full. In 2025 it runs in January, May and October and sign up is open now.

Here's a few shots from the most recent finish line to show how happy you'll feel once it's over. Most of you will enjoy the kicking along the way too.

Come and thunder over the Atlas Mountains on a 50cc monkey bike - old school adventure guaranteed.

"We’re the most prolific group of degenerate as****es that strictly ride vintage Honda Minibikes throughout all of Southern California. We’ve survived quicksand boobie traps. We’ve been shot at by the cartel. We’ve evaded death and law enforcement on several of our adventures. And now… we’re here...."

Will, Josh, Dan, and Jaime from team give their take on the Monkey Run Morocco they did a few weeks ago...

"Beginning at the border of Algeria, through the Sahara dunes, over the Atlas Mountains, passing camels and goat herders, winding through the Dadés Gorge, and into several villages we went. Views of waterfalls, lakes, and rolling green hills that seemed larger than planet Earth itself, we finally ended in a town an hour west of Marrakech to finish it all off! ⁠

"Why a small child size bike? Because anything larger would make it too easy. These painfully slow and unreliable mini motorcycles forced us to slow down and take in the scenes. Met the locals. Dodged the kids throwing rocks at us. Outran the street dogs that disliked us. Kept our eyes peeled for scorpions and cobra snakes. Made the entire bottom half of our bodies go numb with discomfort.⁠

"Met tons of new friends. Became masters at the Morocco bartering system. Got 3 flat tires. Some got food poisoning. Others fell off of moving trains. We all fell victim to over exertion and sleep deprivation every single day, with only one minor crash at the last mile. But in the end, it was NOTHING BUT FUN!"⁠

There are a handful of spots left on the next edition this October. In 2025 it runs in January, May and October.

During our Monkey Run thats just finished, some of our highest quality monkey bikes found themselves in some marvellous positions, showcasing their agility and nimbleness in any and all terrain. From start to finish the monkey will always put you into some interesting spots.

1- "Don't park in the construction zone"- Elian
2- "Monkey swinging in a tree" - Tommy
3- Man down in the Sahara Sand Championship - brave fools
4- Monkeys drive you up the walls - Harrison
5- The new riding position of 2024 - some chap in a nice shirt
6- Still not mastered the art of staying upright come finish line - concerned man
7- Taken off the beaten track - Jamie
8- Making sure Monkeys can take corners well - that guy there

We've chopped £100 off the Monkey Run Mongolia July 2024 entry fee.

On the entire planet we inhabit there is no more perfect a stage for a monkey bike adventure than Mongolia.

Mountains, dirt tracks, no tracks, desert, rivers, swamps and wolves await as you force your 50cc two-wheeled turd across thousands of miles of steppe. Mongolia calls to the soul of the monkey bike like a fly to a s**t.

The un-route stretches from the mountains of the north to the Gobi desert in the south. You’ll carry your bike across rivers and meet nomadic herders. Then you’ll dodge yaks, ride past herds of wild horses and get stuck in mud during a random rainstorm.

As well as all that glorious chaos you’ll be camping out and probably staying with nomads as you wobble across one of the world’s biggest wilderness.

In short: the Monkey Run Mongolia has gigantic-hairy-monkey-adventure nuts and registration is open now.

The Finish Line for the Monkey Run Morocco was yesterday. Our brave fools arrived in debatable style and shared plenty of stories over a few too many beers. We won’t tell you what there were, you’ll have to hop on a monkey yourself and experience the chaos first hand.

There are spots available on some future runs, you can check them out here and choose the one that tickles your fancy. https://www.theadventurists.com/monkey-run/monkey-run-price-and-dates/

The final photo of the day gets awarded to Mr Tomasz. For encapsulating just how big Morocco is and how small a Monkey Bike is. Bravo to you sir.

Our brave fools will be hurtling towards our most inconvenient of finish lines today. But if you’ve got incredibly jealous of them there are some spots in some future runs- so sign up here: https://www.theadventurists.com/monkey-run/monkey-run-price-and-dates/

Towards the end of these runs we tend to get the “why the f**k did we sign up to this?” Faces. This is one of those face showcased brilliantly by Mr Vic.

The finish line is tomorrow so be sure to look out for all the shenanigans that are sure to entail. We’ve hidden it in a beautiful spot, sure to get some more of these looks.

A majestic background and a beautiful subject. You can’t really beat it sometimes. That’s why Mr Lars has bagged Photo Of The Day with this stunner. Alongside it are some more of our favourites.

You can track them all here as they near the end of their adventure- https://blogging.theadventurists.com/map/adventure/mbmmay24

It’s a little known fact that Monkeys release a pheromone that attracts any and all stray dogs and turns them absolutely feral. We now have photographic evidence of this monkey chasing predator in action thanks to Mr Johan.

If you’re feeling particularly jealous of this foolish adventurers you can sign up to some upcoming monkey editions here: https://www.theadventurists.com/monkey-run/monkey-run-price-and-dates/

Mr Philip and his foolish friends had a successful day yesterday getting stuck and unstuck in the world’s largest sandbox. As a result he’s won Photo Of The Day. Bravo to you sir.

Look how cool Mr William looks with his mate. All fancy with one wheel on the ground, an incredible landscape behind them and the best two wheeled vehicle between their legs. Marvellous stuff. He’s just snagged a Photo Of The Day.

Our 62 brave and foolish monkey runners headed out into the unknown this morning after a wave of Mr Alex’s fancy looking flag. Armed with far too much stuff and a questionable sense of style they will travel across Morocco getting lost, stuck and unstuck.

You can track their adventures here and live vicariously through them while you question your poor life choices of not joining the run: https://blogging.theadventurists.com/map/adventure/mbmmay24

Yesterday 61 riders met their monkeys in the desert for the first time…what ensued can only be described as chaos.

Custom racks of questionable quality were made, the Sahara Sand Championship was a huge success and everyone is now a qualified monkey runner, licensed and all.

To top it all off Mr Michael secured our test driving Photo Of The Day, to accompany any photo of the day winners is a nice beer of varying degrees of warmth.

Four metres from the Monkey Run Peru finish line - the perfect spot for a celebratory faceplant into a bush. We doff our hats to the riders on the April 2024 edition - all of them made it over the mountains to the Amazon jungle finish on their 90cc monkey bikes.

The next edition is in September and we have spots up for grabs.

Monkey bike emergency surgery by torchlight up at the cloud line. And a speed bump wheelie delighting the cheering crowd of one.

Two very different photos of the Monkey Run Peru won the final two Photo of the Day awards.

Albert for the spectacular height of his wheelie action shot. And Michelle for the slice of photographic reality showing an unscheduled maintenance stop against a suitably doom-flavoured backdrop.

They both win the eternal admiration of their fellow monkeys, and one beer at the finish line (temperature not guaranteed).

The next edition is in September. You know what to do.

Monkey bikes tackling a Peruvian double-tunnel track carved out of an Andean mountain-side - this is downstairs-tingle level stuff.

Igor Preciso wins an extremely rare prize - back to back Photo of the Day Champion for yesterday's effort and this scorcher on Day 5.
