What are you talkin’ about?

Tramprennen is an annual hitchhike race across Europe organized by The Hitchhiking Hub, a network of hitchhiking enthusiasts from all over the world. The race lasts usually two weeks and is divided into different stages. Step by step the participating teams (2 or 3 people) are getting closer to the common final destination. Within 4 years we grew from 2 participants to 117 in 2012. Apart from the incredible fun of traveling by thumb, it supports the water charity NGO Viva con Agua by raising funds for sanitation projects.
