Chiditarod V salutes all who helped make Chiditarod 2010 truly, totally, off the hook EPIC.  This crazy race just gets more and more legendary.  Thank you.  Thank you... thank you for choosing to live adventurously, artistically, and with good humor... all while fighting a common foe: Hunger in Chicago.  Prizes, times, and cart deposits will be handled in the next few days if not sooner. For now, let's see the media!

Upload your media!!

A few memorable quotes:

• "Radtacular"
• "It will be a day long remembered"
  
• "Good heavens, was it EPIC! It ran so smoothly, I can't believe there were 120 teams. Really liked having different routes for different teams, it never got too crowded at any of the bars. And we loved karaoke."
• "So much carrion this year... weird."

Read all of this.  You'll be happy you did.

Food Drive

The Chiditarod is probably, most likely, we assume, the largest mobile food drive in the universe.  This year you must finish the race with at *least* 40 pounds of quality, non-perishable, preferrably high-protein food in your cart.  This year all food and monentary donations go to The Chicago Anti-Hunger Federation.  If you have friends who aren't racing or volunteering, ask them to participate by bringing food to the start or finish line.  Times are tough; especially tough for those in real need.  Chiditarod isn't just a wild, incredibly EPIC race to glory. You are doing good work. Please dig deep and help your fellow citizenry. 

Hear ye, hear ye!!!  Let the EPIC begin.  Again.

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.

“RUNNING ROUGHSHOD OVER HUNGER SINCE 2006”

The *AWESOME* known as Chiditarod is now in its 5th year.  On March 6th, 2010,  Chicago's mushers, artists, pub-crawlers, enthusiastic leisurists, professional badasses, cartoon characters, activists, ninjas, saboteurs and of course, robots, will assemble yet again to perpetrate what is "nearly definitely the largest mobile food drive in the known world."
