The willi xc challenge 2023

Golden, british colombia

Dates: July 29, 2023 – August 6, 2023

Open-Distance XC

From the organizer:

This will be the 27th year of what started as a side bet challenge amongst a small group for flying friends and has grown into an annual XC pilgrimage for many. We are hoping good weather and great pilots come together to make this iteration one of the best ever.

The Willi XC Challenge is an open-distance XC competition for hang gliding and paragliding pilots of all levels. Pilots take off daily from historic Mt. Seven and soar as far as the day will allow. It’s not uncommon for pilots to make it just shy of the U.S. border on a good day. All levels are welcome, but thermal / SIV experience are an asset if you intend to fly XC.

Race to Goal Task

From the organizer:

This is a class "B" meet with race to goal task. Flying over the Alberta Prairies and sometimes even into Saskatchewan. It is a Hang Gliding tow competition, however paragliders are more then welcome to come and join in the fun, provided they arrange their own towing apparatus, driver and scorekeeper. Scores will be tallied daily with flight instruments submitted for recording by the meet scorekeeper. Pilot meetings will be held at home base (Swalwell Community Centre) each morning prior to driving out to the tow site, located just north of Carbon Alberta.
