Epic mushers, veteran and new. We salute your bravery, ambition, utter disregard for the resonable, and HEART. The results of the 2009 CHIditarod are in. First and foremost, the food drive. The Chicago Anti-Hunger Federation is the recipient of the food drive this year. Thanks to your generosity and cunning, the 2009 CHIditarod raised 7,758 pounds of food for Chicago’s hungry. That’s almost 4 Tonnes!
7,758 pounds!
You raced through rain. You raced through cold. Your creativity was only rivalled by your lack of good taste and love of the random. The last of the Wall of Shame has been posted. A hallowed CHIditarod flag still lies missing. We’re sending out surveys. Go find and upload Videos and Photos, share your stories of sabotage and redemption, LEAVE NO TRACE next year, and perhaps volunteer (even as a core organizer – we need you!) Above all, take care of each other and continue spreading your creativity out into the world. Do it for the children.
Here are the results of the 2009 CHIditarod.
