Budapest-Bamako is an exhilarating rally that celebrates the spirit of adventure and community. Launched in 2005 as an alternative to the Dakar Rally, it has grown to become the world’s largest amateur rally. To commemorate its 20th anniversary in 2025, Budapest-Bamako will host a special edition rally, which focuses on nostalgia and camaraderie. Participants will retrace parts of the original 2005 route, exploring Europe and Morocco before ending in the vibrant capital of The Gambia, Banjul.

The rally invites anyone to participate—“by anything, by any means”—and emphasizes inclusivity. This unique event will feature a competitive racing category where teams are challenged to navigate geo-checkpoints with minimal assistance, fostering a true sense of adventure. Medical support and morning briefings ensure safety and organization, allowing participants to fully immerse in the experience. With a commitment to honoring the legacy of past participants, Budapest-Bamako continues to inspire adventurers worldwide. Join us for an unforgettable journey that combines competition, exploration, and community.
