Chiditarod Shopping Cart Race 2012

Moshpix: Chicago again showed its love for the weird and wacky with the 2012 edition of the Chiditarod, billed as the only urban Iditarod. Teams of five tricked out their themed shopping carts and raced around the course, hitting up various bars in the Ukranian Village and Wicker Park neighborhoods and performing various tasks. Each team had to finish the race with at least 49 pounds of non-perishable food, which was the whole point of the event -- $30,000 raised to fight hunger.
