Idea & Concept
The idea of organizing an agility event in Switzerland that would have significance beyond the country’s borders and stand out from other events in terms of form and execution was born.
The Helvetic Agility Masters
EST. 2020
The Helvetic Agility Masters is Switzerland’s greatest agility event. During 3 days about 400 agility-enthusiastic teams from 15 nations meet near the federal capital Bern.
The best teams are sought in 3 different competitions. In the Helvetic Agility Master (HAM for short), which is also the name giver for the entire event, teams of class 3 (highest class) run against each other, while the Helvetic Novice Cup (HNC for short) is for teams of classes 1 and 2. In the finals of HAM and HNC, which are divided into Small & Medium and Intermediate & Large, the tension is hard to beat. Sunday is always dedicated to team sports. With the Helvetic Team Cup, teams of 4 team members are formed. In an exciting qualification jumping with baton handover, the 10 best teams qualify for the final. This offers the viewer real thrills, suspense and variety.

More than a tournament
