    What is a Fast CAT Fun Run

     Fast CAT® – which stands for Coursing Ability Test – is a timed 100-yard dash where dogs run one at a time, chasing a lure. It’s over before you know it — and it’s nothing short of awe-inspiring to watch your dog run at top speed, ears back, eyes focused, legs strong. And if your dog is really fast, you might earn bragging rights!  You might also catch the Fast CAT bug and sign up for an official AKC Fast CAT event! 

    Although it is a relatively new sport, Fast CAT's popularity has spread like wildfire. No wonder. According to one AKC official, “The Fast CAT® provides a terrific opportunity to introduce new participants to the world of AKC sports as one of the few events where all that is needed to compete is a dog’s natural instincts.”

    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.

    OTHER FAQ's

    Dogs may wear slip collars, buckle collars, Martingales, and body harnesses. They may not wear prong collars or e-collars. Muzzles may be worn only in events that permit muzzles. Head collars may be worn unless they are prohibited by a specific activity for safety reasons (e.g., when a dog is running the agility course, the only collars allowed are flat buckle or rolled leather collars). Leashes should be 4 ft. to 6 ft. long and should be made of fabric or leather.  


    Dogs who are at least 6 months old are eligible to take earn the Bronze AKC FIT DOG TITLE. Dogs must be registered or enrolled with AKC and have an AKC, PAL, or AKC Canine Partners number when the Title Application is submitted. 


    The forms to submit your title (Title Application, Checklists, etc.) are at: https://www.akc.org/sports/akc-family-dog-program/akc-fit-dog/akc-fit-dog-titles/
