Erin and her dog Lily.

Experience an Alaskan tradition first-hand!

Meet an Alaskan husky, stand on the runners of a dog sled, imagine the noise at feeding time, meet a real musher, and more. Join Erin McLarnon and one of her sled dogs for this demonstration at the Alaska Public Lands Information Center in Downtown Anchorage.

Erin was born and raised in Hoosier, Indiana. Upon moving to Alaska, Erin fell in love with the sport of dog mushing (the official sport of Alaska). Erin is a long distance musher, and a veteran of the Serum Run, one of the three long distance races in Alaska. 

As a musher, Erin has experienced it all: frostbite, dehydration, a broken sled, injured dogs, and more. Despite all these challenges, Erin continues to return to the sport year after year.  When asked why, she answers, "Well, because I love it!"

Join Erin and Lily the husky every Friday at 2:00 p.m. until September 10th in the Anchorage Alaska Public Lands Information Center theater for this great demonstration!
