Annual Springfield to Shelbyville Birditarod

The Annual Springfield to Shelbyville Birditarod is a fake race made up by Moe for Raymond Bird to take part in.

History

Moe suggested the race to Homer and was going to do it until Santa's Little Helper ate Raymond Bird. Moe then revealed that it was a hoax and a scheme to steal Homer's house, and that there was no such thing as a Birditarod.

Poster

According to Moe's poster, 100 birds would have entered, 1 bird would have won, and 3 birds would have been sucked into a plane.

Behind the laughter

The name of the race is a pun on the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, which is held annually in Alaska.
