MUSH with Noggin, the Sled Dog

Have you ever wondered… 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?

Could your dog be a sled dog, too?

2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the legendary 1925 Diphtheria Epidemic Serum Run. Remember Balto, Togo, and the many heroic huskies and mushers who carried life-saving antitoxin across the harsh Alaskan wilderness to the town of Nome? Want to learn more?

Join musher Karen Land and her Alaskan husky, Noggin, as they visit the Montgomery-Floyd Regional Library system to share stories and insights about the thrilling world of dog sledding.

Karen Land is a writer, public speaker, and three-time participant in the 1,000-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. She has also competed in numerous sprint and endurance races across Alaska, Canada, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, and Maine. Since 2000, Land has traveled to nearly every U.S. state with her sled, mushing gear, Arctic clothing, and beloved dogs, delivering over a thousand educational presentations at schools and libraries.
