2009 Philadelphia Area Idiotarod


The Iditarod is the famous long-distance race in which yelping dogs tow a sled across Alaska.

The Idiotarod is a shopping cart race in which five “idiots” tie themselves to a (sometimes modified) grocery store shopping cart and run through the streets of a major metropolitan area.
