Mush!: Meet Iditarod Racer Karen Land and Her Sled Dog Sophia

What does it feel like to ride the runners behind a team of dogs, steering a loaded sled through mountainous terrain, crossing the vast Alaskan tundra, hugging the shoreline of the great Bering Sea? What does it take to care for a team of Alaskan huskies? Join us as we welcome musher Karen Land, a three-time participant in the 1000-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, and her Alaskan Husky Sophia! In honor of Women's History Month, Karen will give a once-in-a-lifetime presentation on her experiences racing in the Iditarod and the legacy of female mushers in this celebrated annual competition. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask her questions, meet Sophia, and see her mushing gear up close! Registration is required; please sign up below.

Land is a writer, public speaker, and musher who has competed in many sprint and endurance races in Alaska, Canada, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Maine. Since 2000, Land has traveled to nearly every state with her dog sled, mushing gear, Arctic clothing, and beloved dogs.
