Ok, we have a lot of fun organizing this thing, we don't mind that our sleep schedule takes a beating at the end of february, and we're happy to front our own cash for the port-a-potty at the starting line, trophies at the finish line, and t-shirts and patches so you can show off your commitment to shopping cart racing year round.

Thing is though, t-shirt and patch sales weren't so hot this year. We decided to charge $15 for shirts because we had grand plans about ending up with a ton of money to donate to a non-profit on top of the food donation, but as it stands now, we're still trying to recoup our own costs. So if you were too drunk, broke, or dirty to pick up a t-shirt and a patch on race day, consider having one - or five - delivered to your door.

Once the 2007 patches and shirts are gone, they gone for good.

Prices include shipping:

• t-shirt: $12
• pack of five t-shirts: $45
• patch: $3
• pack of five patches: $12
• Team pleaser: five patches and five t-shirts: $55

We can do COD (for whatever it costs us), PayPal, cash, or check: email chiditarod@gmail.com for more information and for the paypal email address to use.
