Summer UKI June 6-8, 2025 Prunedale, CA

Friday, June 6 - International Challenge Event!

ICE has undergone a pair of important changes for 2025, which should make it a better event for younger dogs and/or handlers looking to get exposure to International handling.

◆  The Rookie courses will be designed to an A2 level, which is a better introduction to International handling than was seen in 2024 (which was designed to an A3 level).

◆  Teams that are at the Senior level may choose to compete in either Rookie or International level of ICE.

What is ICE, you ask?

◆  Euro style courses on full-sized international rings (130x100, in our case).

◆  I.C.E. winners gain an invite to the 2026 1-TDC North American Invitational as well as a bye into Rd 2 of the UKI Nationals at both the US Open & Canadian Opens.

◆  Rookie I.C.E. winners receive the Rd 2 byes AND also can choose to automatically move up their dog to the Champ UKI level.

◆  What to expect:

• An Agility and a Jumping course, with the least faults and fastest time producing the winners.

• Two Levels with 2 separate course designs aimed at the 2 levels - 'International' (A3) for the Champ & Senior dogs and 'Rookie' (A2) for Beginner, Novice and Senior dogs.

• Exposure to European-style course running, directly from renowned international judges (Roman Lukáč in our case).

• A platform for competitive growth in the international agility community.
