About USFSS

United States Federation of Sleddog Sports (formerly known as Mushing USA, and the United States Sled Dog Sports Federation), traces its roots back to 1988. It was formed then in order to present representation for US mushers to the International Federation of Sleddog Sports (IFSS) and the US Olympic Committee (USOC). In 2001 it was reformed under the name, Mushing USA, and then in 2013, as United States Federation of Sleddog Sports.  It was officially incorporated in 2003 in the state of Alaska and gained non-profit status in 2007. 

United States Federation of Sleddog Sports (USFSS) is involved in all dog powered sports. This includes Nome style (practiced with a dog sled), Nordic (skijoring and pulka) and dryland (canicross, scooter, bikejoring), and weight pull. Recreationalists as well as the elite of the sport are equally important. Competitive racers and weekend sled dog campers are all part of USFSS.

USFSS also solicits sponsorships for US National Championships and acts as a clearing house for information and referral. It is the selection body for sending US teams to compete in the World Championships.
