'''Competitive Autostop''' is a (new) form of extreme sport, combining adventurous hiking, orienteering and exploration with ''autostop'' as a means of transport.

Russian hitchhiking clubs (e.g. [[Saint Petersburg Autostop League|PASL]]) are the pioneers of this form of sport, where specific distances have to be traveled by autostop as fast as possible in order to win a competition. This includes excursions of a few days up to several weeks, covering thousands of kilometers of hitching motorized vehicles, freight airplanes or boats. Next to that, elements of ''sport orienteering'' & ''navigation'' in (un)known territory off the road are an inherent part in such excursions and competitions, establishing a more adventurous form of ''autostop'' while asking the participant for more than just ''hitting the road''.
