2026 AMA National Hare & Hound Championship Schedule

The National Hare and Hound Association (NHHA) has released the 2026 AMA National Hare & Hound Championship schedule. There are two fewer races than the year prior, and locations off the schedule for 2026 are Winnemucca, Nevada, and Ridgecrest, California.

The remainder of the calendar is mostly unchanged with the first three races being in the same locations as last year. Rounds 1 and 3 will be held on the same weekends as they were in 2025 while round 2 takes place two weeks later. There are once again two consecutive stops in Jericho, Utah, in April and May, and a race in Caliente, Nevada, in September. The finale will be in Lucerne Valley, California, again but is set for Halloween weekend instead of mid-October.
