Chiditarod VII is coming! - March 3, 2012

Chiditarod (ʃai*dit'*ə*rɒd): n.) the annual Chicago-based phenomenon that combines elements of the Alaskan Iditarod with Chicago's finest brand of debaucherous social activism. One part food drive, one part pub-crawl, one part costumed race, all parts radtacular. The Chiditarod draws together 800+ people, both participants and spectators, and has raised over 46,000 pounds of food and over $21,000 in direct donations since its inception in 2006.

Still "Probably the World's Largest Mobile Food Drive"

Seven years strong, Chiditarod can still lay claim to being “Probably the World's Largest Mobile Food Drive.” Our philanthropic efforts address urban food and hunger challenges by partnering with organizations that provide immediate hunger relief, such as food pantries, and sustainable food empowerment, which is a new initiative for 2012.
