Last weekend, 500 Chicago hipsters, jocks, comedians, executives, bookworms and "colorful personalities" competed in a five-mile shopping cart race through the streets of Chicago. Dressed in lavish costumes, they pulled their carts, dog sled-style down sidewalks and through traffic, collecting canned goods for charity as they went and always looking for opportunities to sabotage their opponents. It's called the Chiditarod and I sent 10 reporters with hand held cameras to embed with specific teams and capture their races.Link (main page is Flash-based)
