RULES

You can read the basic rules of our race here. We are preparing their official version and will send it by email to the addresses of already registered competitors as soon as it is available.

Conditions for Registration

To enter the competition, you must hold a valid paragliding pilot license. This year's Hike and Fly Moravian Challenge is organized as the Czech National Championship and an open FAI Category 2 event, meaning you can only participate if you have an FAI sporting license and an assigned CIVL ID.
It is easy to get it both, do you need help?

Equipment

Paraglider with a valid technical condition certificate, harnesses with reserve parachute, helmet, height measuring device. Minimum weight of equipment is 10 kg.

The paraglider cannot be changed during the race without the express permission of the organizer. A smart mobile phone with Android 4.0 and higher with the XCTrack application installed and functional (beta version with live tracking). The phone must be equipped with a functional GPS sensor and must have functional and activated DATA – GSM. Live tracking will probably need a maximum of 3MB. A backup external battery is required – power bank or battery pack as a power source for the mobile phone with a cable for charging the phone. The phone will also be used as a means of communication between the organizer and the participant.

We recommend a backup GPS recording an IGC file throughout the competition.

Live tracking is important primarily for the safety of the competitor. The IGC file is then used to evaluate the results and verify that the course has been completed in a regular manner.

Our race is designed to be a multi-day event, so we recommend that you bring a sleeping bag and a sleeping mat.

Other requirements

Compulsory insurance for damages caused to third parties (compulsory liability).

Carrying equipment / assistance / support team

The participant is obliged to carry the complete equipment for the entire duration of the competition on his own. Support is not allowed in our race! Each participant is responsible for his own food, drink and sleep. Sleeping in the car or in the hotel is not allowed!

The race ends either when the third competitor crosses the finish line, or on Saturday at the stroke of 12 o'clock. The order of competitors will then be determined according to the tracklog. Every competitor who lands must send an SMS message to the race organizer within 5 minutes of landing that he is okay and will continue walking.
