They wear costumes, drink beer, and run around the streets of Washington, D.C. with shopping carts. But the racers of the annual Idiotarod are anything but idiotodic. This urban take on the Alaskan dogsled race is actually a massive fundraising effort.

  • Very informative piece. It's great to know there's more involved than getting drunk.
  • The sultry voice of this gifted documentarian made me want to vote for this video immediately and then book a one-way ticket to paradise. There on a pristine beach, I would ponder The Idiots of March and reflect upon its teachings.

  • DC is a crazy town.
  • i like
  • Very well produced!! THis is the 2nd video Pod shopping cart race for fundraising that I have greenlighted on Current today. I am all for it when it comes to helping those out who are in need. And great to see DC get a bit rattled by the crazies! It will be interesting to see these 2 pods go neck to neck to the finish line... good luck with it and thanks for your support on my video.

  • The similarities between our pieces
    are amazing and bizarre, concurrently.
    This is a very polished and well-produced pod.
    We should collaborate on something.

  • Awesome video! Favorite elements - 1. A woman carrying groceries while watching racers pass by. 2. Mr. Hello Kitty cracking his whip (during the young professionals comment). 3. When Ellen says that "Washington DC is a fairly conservative" while Monument's Washington Monument falls forward. This rocks!
  • great vid - nice to see a different population cruising the streets of DC. Bar crawl with costumes and shopping carts. :-D

  • runrunrun!
  • If all fund raisers were like this....you would have many more people getting involved. It's entertaining, fun-filled excitment that the people donating their money and free-time can take active participation in. BRAVO!!

  • yet again, a perfect pairing of people philanthroping and pilsner pounding while pushing pirate paraphernalia to its pinnacle of professional use.
