The 5k Shopping Cart Race: An Idiotarod

Nov 22, 11AM-2PM, River Arts District (Riverside St., Roberts St., Lyman St.,Craven St & Clingman Ave), Asheville  NC. The Idiotarod is a lot like the legendary Alaskan Sled Dog Race called the IdiDarod, which is a dog sled competition that spans over 1150 miles of Alaska’s roughest, most beautiful terrain that Mother Nature has to offer. The Idiotarod is essentially the same thing except we’ll cover 5 kilometers and instead of dogs we use people (idiots) and instead of sleds we use shopping carts (super pods of wonder). Participants usually adopt a theme for their team and decorate themselves and their cart accordingly. Fun trickery also comes into play as participants compete for one of six awards including. Live music by Levi Douglas and Zach Blew at the Wedge After Bash! Website: http://www.ashevilleidiotarod.com/
