  • 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. The race usually features people in costumes and themed floats. The race, though fun, is competitive, and teams are known to sabotage each other in an effort to win. Forms of sabotage include tripping competitors, throwing marbles or large obstacles in their paths, and the spreading of misinformation, such as false route information. The Idiotarod is named after the Iditarod, a 1,000 mile dog-sledding race in Alaska. Idiotarods have taken place in Toronto, Seattle, Los Angeles, New York City, Phoenix, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. , though the original race was founded in San Francisco in 1994 as the "Urban Iditarod".
