There are 20 upcoming AKC Fast CAT event weekends in New Jersey, hosted in Chester, Bridgewater, Freehold, Mt. Laurel, Franklin and other cities. The next one is Ramapo Kennel Club in Chester 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.
