IFSS Spotlight Campaign – Let’s Tell Your Story
Dear Members, Across our global IFSS family, the rhythm is different.
While some continents are embracing quieter periods or off-season recovery, others are already stepping into their racing seasons with full energy and focus. From summer training blocks to winter preparations ahead, our sport never truly stands still.
Whether your Federation is in peak competition mode, building momentum for the 2026/2027 season, or taking a well-deserved pause to reset and prepare for what lies ahead—we are all part of the same journey.
At IFSS, we are preparing a series of exciting campaigns across our social media channels—campaigns that celebrate “Our Members” across every continent and every stage of the season.
We would like to invite you to be part of something special. The IFSS “Spotlight” Series
Our vision is simple yet powerful:
To shine a light on each of our member federations and to tell the stories behind the sport we all love.
We would be honoured if you could share with us:
- A short introduction to your Federation
- Key activities, achievements, or upcoming plans
- Anything you feel represents your community and spirit
- And… if you dare, a fun fact or unique detail that makes your Federation truly stand out Through this campaign, we want to bring our community closer together—across borders, cultures, and disciplines—by telling authentic stories of dedication, passion, and people behind every team.
Together, we can show the world not only the strength of our sport, but also its heart.
We look forward to hearing from you and sharing your story with the global IFSS community. Agata Aleksandra Zaremba

IFSS announces the formation of the Adaptive Sport Committee
Dear IFSS Members,
The IFSS Council is pleased to announce the establishment of a new committee under the VP Development: Adaptive Sport Committee.
This committee has been created to lead the development and integration of para sport within IFSS Championships. We believe this is an important and necessary step toward ensuring greater accessibility, inclusivity, and opportunities for all athletes within our global community.
At this time, three members have already joined the onboarding phase, including an IFSS RM representative and an experienced para athlete. Their combined expertise will help guide the initial stages of this initiative.
We warmly invite all Federations to support this work. If your Federation has individuals who would be interested in contributing to the Adaptive Sport Committee, we encourage you to get in touch.
Please contact: development@sleddogsport.net
Together, we can continue shaping a more inclusive future for sled dog sports.
Kind regards,
Agata Aleksandra Zaremba
IFSS VP Development
