Newfiepalooza 2026 AKC Fit Walk

We are excited to host an AKC Fit Walk at Newfiepalooza 2026. This will be a 1 mile course throughout the grounds and you can walk it independently between 12:00-3:15 pm.

You will check in at the registration table located at the Fast CAT Fun Run.  You will walk the course, stopping at the progress markers to take a selfie and document your walk. You will finish the course at the Fast CAT Fun Run registration table and show your documented photos.  You will receive a signed copy of completion that will qualify as an official event if you are working towards an AKC Fit Dog title.

ALL proceeds from this Fit Walk will benefit Newfoundland Rescue.

A separate fee will apply to apply for any AKC Fit Dog Title.
