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 hitchhiking 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 hitchhiking 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 ''hitchhikingautostop'' while asking the participant for more than just ''hitting the road''.

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, making traveling between long distances a piece of cake.
