The Legendary 5k Shopping Cart Race

I know what you’re asking yourself. You’re asking yourself, “What the heck is an idiotarod?!” Well, an Idiotarod is a lot like the legendary Alaskan Sled Dog Race called the Iditarod, which is a dog sled competition that spans over 1150 miles of Alaska’s roughest, most beautiful terrain that Mother Nature has to offer. The Idiotarod is essentially the same thing except we’ll cover like a 5k and instead of dogs we use people (idiots) and instead of sleds we use shopping carts (super pods of wonder), which are extremely energy efficient by the way. So essentially it’s the same, but according to my mom it’s way cooler – and my Mom knows. Though this Idiotarod is slightly different in that participants will have three community project based challenges along the way that they will have to complete. All proceeds from the event are going to help support The 12 Day Project – a new local non-profit.

We here at Idiotarod and the 12 Day Project want to give special thanks to these local companies for helping make this possible:
