There are 14 upcoming AKC Fast CAT event weekends in North Carolina, hosted in Raleigh, McLeansville, Monroe, Raeford, Fayetteville and other cities. The next one is Raleigh Kennel Club, Inc. in Raleigh on September 3, 2026 – September 5, 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.
