The Iditarod is the famous long-distance race in which yelping dogs tow
a sled across Alaska. Our Chiditarod is pretty much the same thing,
except that instead of dogs, it's people, instead of sleds, it's
shopping carts, and instead of Alaska it's Chicago.
Who can race?
Anyone can race and Everyone should race, as long as you are at
least 21 years old. You can forward this invitation to anyone you know.
Isn't it going to be cold?
Absolutely. The race goes off rain or shine, blizzard, breeze or tornado.
What does this mean? Well, if there is a foot of snow on the ground, be
prepared. Teams have built sled attachments to their carts to handle
such situations. In any cast, bundle up!
