The Idiotarod is a charitable shopping cart race in which teams of five "idiots" group themselves with a modified grocery store shopping cart and run through the streets of Downtown Phoenix. The race features people in costumes and themed floats. The races are fun competitions where sabotage, costume, and presentation are rewarded.
The entry fee is $50 per team, and we limit the event to 36 teams.
You can find all sorts of information about the event and previous events via the menu in the upper right of the page
