About me: The 8th Annual Portland Urban Iditarod will be run Saturday, March 14th, 2009. You can pre-register by visiting www.KeepPortlandWeird.org/UrbanIditarod/. The event is held on the same date the "real" race each year.
In the Alaskan Iditarod, more than sixty dog sled teams race across the frozen tundra from Anchorage to Nome. In our urban version, teams of 'dogs' lead by a musher will pull their sleds (shopping carts) through some of Portland's most scenic areas. These teams of barking humans must negotiate through the unrelenting and unforgiving dangers of Portland's urban frontier. As an incentive to run, dogs and mushers alike will have several 'rest stops' to replenish lost fluids and discuss tales of mayhem. The course is over four miles, so dogs and mushers alike need to be ready and able to run their tails off.
The 8th Annual Urban Iditarod will be a little diffrent then the last 7 years. The start and course will be kept top secret until the day before the event. Only registered teams will be given the start and course information.
The official Portland Urban Iditarod Website is at www.keepportlandwierd.org/urbaniditarod. There you can get all the information for the upcoming event and check out the Urban Iditarod Swag.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone with four friends, a shopping cart and a thirst for adventure!
