NEW SUMMER SLED DOG EXPERIENCE! Sled dogs - off grid life - comfortable ride.
NEW SUMMER SLED DOG EXPERIENCE! Sled dogs - off grid life - comfortable ride.
Rock On Racing is home to four humans and (currently) 50 sled dogs. The Randall family: Matt, Casey, AddieAnn, and Thale, are all competitive long-distance mushers, led by their “rock star” dogs. Located in beautiful Caswell, just 90 minutes north of Anchorage in the heart of mushing country, the Rock On Racing kennel sits on 43 acres of beautiful off-grid forestland.

At Rock On Racing, you’re not just joining a tour, you’re stepping into our Alaska life, joining our ‘pack’. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed like friends, and we guarantee you’ll leave feeling like family.
Our unique experiences offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of competitive distance dog mushing. On every tour, guests will learn about the kennel, dog and human daily routines, and what it takes to live, work, and play off the grid in wild Alaska, where temperatures can plunge to -60°F during the winter months.
Every tour offers plenty of time to capture incredible photo and video moments, and sometimes we even provide drone footage! And, as a cuddly bonus, if puppies are on site and of age, you’ll have the chance to interact with the next generation of Rock Stars!
When you book an experience with Rock On Racing, you’re helping us provide top-quality care and nutrition to our world-class canine athletes. Your support means everything!
YOU ROCK!





With a family motto of “Be Alive”, the Randalls live, work, and play by this mantra; homeschooling AddieAnn and Thale with a freedom to hunt, fish, mush, and learn by exploring the exciting world around them. Both Thale and AddieAnn have youth-distance race top finishes under their belts, and AddieAnn is poised to compete in Iditarod 2027, starting the race on her 18th birthday. Thale is also an accomplished trapper, managing his trapline via dog team. His wintry adventures can be followed on the Rock On Racing YouTube channel.
A cancer survivor, Casey began mushing competitively under the “Be Alive!” message, and dad Matt started his mushing journey to round out the Rock On Racing team.

Yupik lets his presence be known. He works hard and loves hard. He will happily stand up on his hind legs and put his big front paws on your shoulders to give you a great big hug. Yupik’s loud mouth brings attention to his gentle soul. Yupik would do best in a home without small children or small pets.

Bia is shy and quiet until she is comfortable with you…. and then watch out because she won’t stop talking or giving you the most beautiful affection. She is a gorgeous dog and an expert in the wheel position where she dances around the gangline taking the team artfully around corners. Bia is a 2018 Iditarod Champion with Joar Leifseth
Bia is shy and quiet until she is comfortable with you…. and then watch out because she won’t stop talking or giving you the most beautiful affection. She is a gorgeous dog and an expert in the wheel position where she dances around the gangline taking the team artfully around corners. Bia is a 2018 Iditarod Champion with Joar Leifseth Ulsom's team. We have been blessed to have her as a rock star on our team. Bia is the mom of our River Litter, and she is one of the calmest older dogs in our kennel.

Aniak is small and mighty! She is little and fierce. She is a sweetheart and a force to be reckoned with. Aniak embodies the spirit of our team, Rock On Racing. Aniak is also the dog on the logo. Aniak is the best snuggle buddy to have in bed. She burrows herself into the covers and sleeps tight all night long while keeping you warm. Photo by Whitney McLaren.

The definition of the word Lightning is a giant spark of electricity in the atmosphere between clouds, the air, or the ground. This is also the definition of this dog, so appropriately named Lightning. A leader, a positive energy, and a strong force of nature.

Lynx is a proud but humble dog with the biggest heart. He will do anything you ask him to. When he is in lead and you give him a command he puts his ears back and executes it with such vigor that both he and his musher can’t help but beam with pride and flash a great big smile.

Kalgin is a dog that makes you feel like the most important and most loved person in the world. When he wants your attention he commands it with a long outstretched leg and paw. For those closest to Kalgin he shows his admiration for you by gently holding your hand in his mouth. He's one of a kind and we are glad he is ours. He enjoys playing and running with his brother Lynx.

Noche' is a powerhouse of a dog, an excellent leader, and the biggest sweetheart on the team. Everyone loves Noche'! He loves belly rubs and gives the most gentle kisses. He will also give you a "high five" with his paw.

Boye is a gentle giant. He loves to find the biggest rock he can get his mouth around and proudly parade around with it. Sometimes he buries it and other times he just likes to keep it close by. Bøye is so powerful in harness that he can surge the entire team forward by himself and yet he has the most tender and sensitive personality.

Bøye is so powerful in harness that he can surge the entire team forward by himself and yet he has the most tender and sensitive personality. Bøye hardly ever barks and when he does everyone listens up. His mom was a great leader and he shines in that position as well as any other spot on the team.

Heart has some of the softest fur on the team. She is the only girl in the Card litter with brothers Diamond, Spade & Joker. When we need a burst of speed Heart is a great dog to put up in lead, as she enjoys running at a faster pace. Heart always greets us with her signature sound, which resembles that of a joyful wookie from Star Wars. Photo by Whitney McLaren.

Diamond equals power. He used to be the final dog we hooked up in the team when going for a run because his over the top excitement to run could overtake the rest of the team. Diamond has matured into a dog that can perform well anywhere in the team and he is a joy to mush with. Diamond enjoys taking walks with our Border Collie Mackey

BSpade is a devoted dog. He is wary of anyone he isn't bonded to, and extremely loyal to those he is. Spade has developed into a leader and he enjoys running in any position on the team. He is a very loving dog to those he trusts and it is an honor to mush with him. Spade would do best in a home without small children or small pets. Photo by Whitney McLaren.
