The Adventurists – the folks behind the Mongol Rally and other awesome adventures – are looking for someone to move to South America to head up their operations there. If you’re really keen on adventure and speak Spanish, this is certainly a chance to explore a bit and have a wild good time. I can’t seem to find anything on their website about the job, but just click ‘more’ to see the email they sent out this AM advertising the position.

The Adventurists, the cheeky chaps that run the Mongol Rally, have just introduced their latest adventure race. The Mongol Derby:

On 22 August in the year 2009 twenty-five courageous riders will mount their steeds amidst the ruins of the Great Khaan’s ancient capital Kharkhorin, to face a gruelling 1000 km race across the empty wilderness of Mongolia. This will be no ordinary horse race. The Mongol Derby is not a test of the horse’s speed, but the rider’s skill, endurance and the toughness of the skin between their legs. And by Jove will it put that to the test…

Yeah, a 1000 mile horse race thought the Mongolian Steppe? You bet that will put you to the test. That’ll put just about anyone to the test. That’s one hell of an adventure. If you fancy yourself and good rider and have a chunk of time this summer, check it out.
