The most organized form of shopping cart racing involves teams racing through city streets to raise money and food for charity.
- CHIditarod (Chicago): A play on the Alaskan Iditarod where teams of five humans (four pullers and one "musher") race through Chicago’s West Side. Instead of dogs and sleds, they use tricked-out shopping carts and costumes.
- Idiotarod (Brooklyn/NYC): Similar to CHIditarod, this is an urban shopping cart race known for "silly" costumes, sabotaging other teams (often with glitter or fake snow), and general creative chaos.
- Charity Purpose: These races often require teams to start with a cart full of food for donation to local food banks.
