Speed Gliding Championships

Once again those downhill racers of the sky will be gathering at Chelan Butte in Washington to see how fast they really are as they test their accuracy, judgment, and technical skill against each other and the clock. This is the longest-running speed gliding event in the US and it promises to be another fun week of flying. The event runs May 1st -5th, butting up against the Chelan Beach'N May 5th-6th, which will challenge your spot landing skills on the shores of Lake Chelan.

You don't have to be an expert speed glider to participate. If you have an intermediate rating or above and would like to give it a try, you can enter in the Sport Class and work on improving your time each round with helpful hints and advice from the pros.
