What we’re about

Welcome to the Phoenix Idiotarod Meetup! Join us for outdoor/indoor adventures, obstacle races, and plenty of eating, drinking, and playing. Whether you're a seasoned pub crawl enthusiast or just looking to have a good time, we have something for everyone. Get ready to unleash your inner idiot and make lasting memories with our fun-loving group. Let's embrace the spirit of creativity, camaraderie, and good times together!

The Race:

The Idiotarod is a charitable shopping cart race in which teams of five "idiots" group themselves with a modified grocery store shopping cart and run through the streets of Phoenix. The race features people in costumes and themed floats. The races are fun competitions where sabotage, costume, and presentation are rewarded.

Be prepared for an afternoon of fun and chaos! The race has been going for 19 years now and we don't plan on stopping any time soon!

The race will commence (that means start) at somewhere around 12:00pm. Or maybe 1:00. The starting location will be revealed to all registered participants (if we have your email address) a day prior to the race.

This year we will be collecting donations for Phoenix-based organization UMOM
