Location

UNITED K9 2025 will be held at a location as bold and operationally versatile as the teams it welcomes: the former Montreal-Mirabel International Airport, now transformed into the world-class ICAR Complex.

This year’s event takes place within the new Land Rover | Defender Off-Road Zone, a purpose-built training and demonstration ground covering over 300,000 square feet. Designed to challenge even the most elite K9 units, the terrain includes a wide variety of surfaces, sets, and environmental conditions — from forest paths and uneven terrain to simulated urban zones — ideal for tactical entries, decoy drills, and real-time operational scenarios.

Set against the backdrop of active airport runways, the venue remains fully operational for commercial and private aircraft. With direct access to aviation infrastructure, don’t be surprised if a helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft joins the event in action.

When it’s time to pause, recharge, or simply take it all in, head to the Bistro, located inside the former main terminal of the airport. This isn’t just a cafeteria — it’s an experience. The space feels like a living museum, where you’ll walk past a Formula 1 race car, vintage Land Rovers, and Ferraris — and that’s just inside the building. With panoramic views of the ICAR racetrack, future home of the NASCAR Canada Series, and surrounded by exotic cars, it’s an atmosphere that blends high-octane performance with world-class hospitality. Food and restrooms are available on-site.

Though the terrain is rugged, the experience is refined — delivered with the comfort, precision, and prestige you’d expect from ICAR and Land Rover. Whether you’re in the field or watching from above, every corner of this venue supports a premium, mission-ready experience.

This isn’t just a location. It’s a cinematic arena for working dogs, handlers, and the elite world they operate in.
