Email idiotarod@azcacophony.org to volunteer!THE RACE
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 race will commence (that means start) at somewhere around 12:00pm at the west end of Margaret T. Hance Park in Downtown Phoenix.
The best way to spectate the event is to be on a bicycle or have your walking shoes on and ready at the start of the event. Since there is no route, we can't ensure that you will find the racers at any other location.
The entry fee is $50 per team, and we limit the race to 36 teams.
Check the registration page for more details. You can also use the menu above to see the registered teams, awards, and photos from previous years.
