Karen Land—writer, public speaker, and three-time participant in the 1,049-mile Iditarod Sled Dog Race across Alaska—and her Alaskan husky, Noggin.
2020 is Karen's 20th anniversary year! She has given over a thousand talks in almost every state. Karen loves providing MUSHING talks for always-eager students and enthusiastic library patrons. Dogs, the sport of mushing, and Alaska inspire a diverse audience, making the event fun and interesting for all ages.
Those following the 1,049-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race from afar see a long string of dogs, a sled, a musher. They witness a unit, a team, winding its way down a mountainous trail, progressing across the vast Alaskan tundra, hugging the shoreline of the great Bering Sea. The expansive line of dogs and their human blend together into one even, gray silhouette, a smooth shadow where every member moves in harmony, carries on together, becomes one.
