Alaska Dog Mushers Association is a 501c3 non-profit organization. We maintain over 25 miles of some of the finest dog mushing trails, and hold them to the highest standards possible.
We host a number of preliminary and championship races and also co-ordinate with JDMIA to host safe and fun race events for junior mushers. Our claim to fame is the prestigious Open North American Championship race, “The Granddaddy of them all”, which happens each spring around Equinox weekend, but we also have the Limited North American Championship where some the fastest teams in the world come to compete.
Our board of directors works hard all year-round to collaborate ideas and raise funds to maintain a robust race schedule and trail system in hopes of keeping sprint mushing alive and thriving in the area.

She adopted a dog from the shelter for her kids to start with. Being a fan of fast cars and a warm bed, she found herself fitting well in the limited class sprint realm of dog mushing. She’s been racing in the Alaska race circuit for almost 20 years now and has traveled as far as Daaquam Quebec Canada to race. She’s competed in the IFSS World Championships in 2009 and 2013. Her 6 dog team has held track records at both Tok (recently broken) and Tanacross (still standing). She enjoys spending time with her dogs and watching her kids learn and develop life skills while dog mushing.
