There are 18 upcoming AKC Fast CAT event weekends in Maryland, hosted in Taneytown, Walkersville, Millersville, Finksburg, Boonsboro. The next one is Carroll Kennel Club in Taneytown on August 29, 2026 – August 30, 2026. Fast CAT is a timed 100-yard dash where dogs chase a lure one at a time, and nearly every AKC-registered dog is eligible, including mixed breeds enrolled in AKC Canine Partners. Entries typically close about two weeks before the trial date.
