Złombol (English "junkbol"; "złom" means junk) is a charity car rallying event with a starting point in Poland. The goal of the rally is to finish about 2500 km over a number of stages using a car that was built or designed during the communist era. The rally takes place each year in July, August or September. The starting point is always Katowice.
The 2015 event has been called the largest charity car rally in Europe. The 2020 event has been postponed for 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The rally was conceived in 2007 by two friends as an idea to travel a very long distance in a very old car, and to use that event to gather funds for an orphanage. In the first event there were only two teams.
