For April’s theme of GAME, who better to join the CM/Chicago community than Devin Breen, founder of CHIditarod– a “1,000 person costumed shopping cart race and mobile food drive”?

We can’t wait to hear from him, so we reached out a little early with a few questions to help you get to know him better! Enjoy our Q&A with Devin below, and see you soon!

List three words that begin with the letter G to describe yourself/your personality.

Go!

What was one surprising thing you learned from the first CHIditarod you put on?

Police officers are fond of patches.

I love that you and your wife Liz built a toolkit to help other cities establish their own versions of CHIditarod. What part of the event feels distinctly Chicago to you?

The bribery, of course. Jokes aside, Chicago created the philanthropic aspect. The food drive, the fundraising, the grants, making an impact beyond the celebration.

What are the top three places you find inspiration?
