Have you checked the forecast yet? Keep those paws crossed for sunshine!

While Queensland winter is generally perfect for agility, early mornings can be cool before warming up during the day. Now is a great time to check the weather and make sure you're packed for all conditions.

🏆 7 DAYS TO GO! 🏆

In just one week, competitors from across Australia will gather at Durack for the 2026 Agility Nationals!

Whether you're chasing a National title, representing your state, volunteering behind the scenes, or cheering from ringside, we're excited to welcome you to Queensland.

Over the next seven days we'll be sharing reminders, updates and everything you need to know before the big event begins.

The countdown is on!

Daily Breakdown of Times

Please find below the estimated daily schedule for Days 2–5.

Courses will be available for walking each morning once all rings have been built. We estimate this will be between 8:30am and 8:45am each day. Courses will be set the night before hand but the more volunteers we have assisting with ring finalisations in the morning, the sooner courses can be opened for walking.

During the day, course walking times will strictly be 10 minutes to help keep the event running smoothly. If there is an obvious clash between rings, judges may use their discretion to adjust walking times.

Please keep an eye on Top Dog Events and the ring flags throughout the day to stay informed about course walking times for each ring.
If you believe you may have a ring clash, please speak politely with your Ring Manager, who will do their best to assist.

This schedule is an estimate only and remains subject to change. The Organising Committee reserves the right to amend judges, rings, classes, or timings if required.

Judge Introduction!

Kendal Olsen has been judging agility for 16 years and is travelling from Northern NSW to join us at the 2026 Agility Nationals. Kendal enjoys designing flowing courses that offer competitors a variety of handling options and is looking forward to seeing the different ways teams tackle the challenges she has created.

At home, Kendal is currently trialling Midnyte, a 7-year-old Border Collie, while also bringing along the next generation with 5-month-old puppy Wyzard. For Kendal, great agility is all about seeing dogs and handlers working together in sync while enjoying themselves in the ring.
