"...The Iditarod is the famous long-distance race in which yelping dogs tow a sled across . The is pretty much the same thing, except that instead of dogs, it's people, instead of sleds, it's shopping carts, and instead of Alaska it's New York City..."

Awesome.

sxeminority: 28th Jan 2008 - 18:14 GMT

I missed watching it this year :(

I also told some of my friends in the UK about this event and they didn't seem to believe me. I just showed them these photos and they are amazed :D

Compnerd: 28th Jan 2008 - 18:14 GMT

Oh, I had no idea what this was. Looks like this was an episode of CSI:NY one time. :)

Peter: 28th Jan 2008 - 18:16 GMT

elaine: 28th Jan 2008 - 18:39 GMT

i want that wish you were here picture as a postcard, and i want loads of copies so i can always send it to people. seeing it on it's own it just looks totally bonkers, and like a wish you were here of a wild mindset.

EW: This really made me smile.

zind4gi: 28th Jan 2008 - 19:43 GMT

Didn't realize they were doing it in too. It's here in as well and in .

ZRzuce: 28th Jan 2008 - 20:05 GMT

That is a really fun pictures. What a streetscape!

deadkidsyntax: Simply amazing.

ehy2k: 28th Jan 2008 - 21:09 GMT

Great photographs! I'm also intrigued by the event itself.

rando: 29th Jan 2008 - 04:26 GMT

EvilGentleman: 29th Jan 2008 - 08:57 GMT

Nice way to spend a day. I wonder how it would have been to do it here in Montreal? Shopping carts are usually very tricky to push in the snow.

KaraKurimi: 29th Jan 2008 - 14:54 GMT

CRUD totally need to do this next year. That is an awesome coverage piece, with all those pictures.

chrissy: these photos are so new york!

zagg: 29th Jan 2008 - 21:53 GMT

Is it just me or do the carts and costumes not seem as interesting as they were last year and the year before? I've never seen Idiotarod in person but I've always been a fan of the pictures.

++++ eww to the 2 girls, 1 cup !!!! heh.
