Awards


Dick of the day

Mongolia 5000 will continue the time honoured tradition born out of the Africa 100 adventure in 2012. Every evening members of the group will be nominated and presented with one (or more) of three renowned Awards: DOTD (Dick Of The Day), HTFU (Harden The F’Up) and Bad Ass.

Points for “Dick of the Day” are earned by being late and monumentally stupid. There are always contenders. The winner wears a suitable badge of honour for the following day rather like the ‘maillot jaune’.


Harden the f’ up

A second award will feature from time to time on the Mongolia 5000 adventure. It is the HTFU Award otherwise known as the “Harden The F’ Up” Award. The name pretty well speaks for itself! HTFU is granted for extraordinary acts of ‘patheticness’, for girlish behaviour and generally for not adopting the air of a ‘hard, tough explorer-type.


Bad Ass

And lastly, Dick of the Day Award (DOTD) and the Harden The F’ Up Award (HTFU) are joined by a third badge of honour, known as the Bad Ass or the BA Award – so called to celebrate rare acts (or moments) of admirable nerve.
