This is a two day spot landing contest for both hang gliders and paragliders. The event will be held on the beach at Lake Side Park where pilots will be scored on their accuracy and landing form. Pilots can make as many attempts as they wish, but only their three best landings will count for their final score. Sunday morning is the race to the beach. Pilots are timed from when they break the line at the top of Chelan Butte to the point where their feet touch again at Lake Side Parks beach.
