Idiotarod Races

This is what happens with boredom in the city. Idiotarod Races

"The Iditarod is the famous long-distance race in which yelping dogs tow a sled across Alaska. The IDIOTAROD 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 New York City."
NY Idiotarod

The New York IDIOTAROD is based on San Francisco's Urban Iditarod where teams of ? people dressed as dogs lead by a musher will pull their sleds shopping carts through San Francisco’s tourist areas. The teams of barking humans negotiate through the urban dangers of San Francisco frontier.


IDIOTARODs are located in:
Washington DC
and
Brooklyn

Unlike Christmas and Halloween parades, the Idiotarod has no permits from the city. Doing so would mean having to outline a race route and hiring off-duty police officers. So finding information and organizations can be difficult.

Try looking on websites such as Tribe.net, MySpace and Live Journal. I would love to see a Idiotarod race in Los Angeles.

I found this picture on the Laughing Squid website.
