Who is organizing Carbage run?

Carbage run is organized by an event agency called: CRUM eventravel.

We have been organizing road trips, rally’s and car related events for over 10 years. Besides Carbage run we organize road trips and events under several different brand names.

Our head office is based in the Netherlands and we have regional offices in Denmark and Germany

History

Carbage run was first launched in 2008 in The Netherlands, the first run took place in the summer of 2009. How we came up with the idea? We stole it! The name however was created by ourselves. Carbage is a combination of Car and Garbage. The first edition had 64 cars on the starting grid. Today some of our events consist of over 1.000 cars. Carbage run has become so popular in Europe that all editions are sold out and have waiting lists.

After a few years of summer road trips, we added a Winter Edition. When that was sold out we launched our most challenging adventure: the Carbage run Moped Edition (max. 49cc). After all editions sold out all the time, we expanded to Scandinavia. When that was sold out we decided to brighten the lives of the Germans by bringing them Carbage run. Our company is still growing very fast and more countries in Europe will soon have their own Carbage run. What started as a hobby turned into a “serious” company that organizes all kinds of car-related events and travel packages.
