CHICAGO — So you've acquired a shopping cart, you've wrangled up a team with a crazy name and you're ready to hit the streets for the 10th annual Chiditarod — but you haven't registered.

The deadline is fast approaching. Registration for the annual costumed street race/costume contest/pub crawl that benefits area charities fighting hunger is Feb. 21. The race takes place March 7.

Fees are $75 a team until Feb. 15, when the price rises to $85.

In the past 10 years, the race has gathered more than 100,000 pounds of food and raised more than $100,000 for Chicago's hungry.
