21st Annual CHIDITAROD

We are celebrating 21 years and over $1 millions dollar raised to fight hunger — all while dressing up and causing chaos. So set your calendars for CHIditarod XXI (that’s right our race is legal to drink now!) on Saturday March 7th, 2026.

Starting line is at Cobra lounge.
Racer Check-in: 9:45-11:45 AM
Race Festivities start at 12:00 PM
Race Starts at 12:30 PM

A great place to watch the race is near the starting line. Cheer on your favorite dawgs (please leave your real pets at home) and mushers as they make their way towards the first checkpoint. Be there by 12 noon or you’ll miss the starting horn. And in case you were wondering – YES, the starting line is EPIC.
