'''Competitive Autostop''' is a (new) form of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orienteering orienteering] sport, combining hiking, orienteering and exploration with ''autostop'' as a means of transport. Competitions are organized on a regular base by clubs in Russia, Lithuania , Ukraine and Germany. Elements of ''sport orienteering'' & ''navigation'' in (un)known territory off and on the road are an inherent part in such competitions, establishing a more adventurous form of ''autostop''.
Next to that, research and lectures are conducted regarding a broad range of topics, including e.g. training for giving first-aid on the road, survival training in specific conditions, perfecting [[night hitchhiking]] or strategical autostop. In 20132014, there will be a third attempt the second qualification round for the [[World Championships]]is planned, covering a route through all of Europe (~16 days). While '''competitive autostop''' is currently mostly mainly based in Russia, Ukraine and the Baltics and Russia, there are attempts to establish competitive autostop in [[Western Europe]] as well. A first [[DTSG|German club]] has been founded in November 2011.
