The 13th Annual Lumby Air Races were held from June 3rd-9th this year.  Unfortunately Mother Nature didn't fully cooperated with us but there were quite a few flights for both paragliding and hang gliding pilots.  A special thanks to those pilots who came from long distances from the US, Alberta and BC to join in the fun.

Congratulations to following winners:
  • 1st Place Hang Gliding Open - John Lang - Kelowna BC
  • 2nd Place Hang Gliding Open - Pedro Rederson - North Vancouver BC
  • 3rd Place Hang Gliding Open - David Bacon - Summerland BC
 
  • 1st Place Paragliding Open- Don Herres - Lumby BC
  • 2nd Place Paragliding Open - Michel Laurin - Courtney BC
  • 3rd Place Paragliding  Open-  Eric Gesinger - Victoria BC
​
  • 1st Place Hang Gliding Sport Class - Steve Parson - Chemainus BC
  • 2nd Place Hang Gliding Sport Class- Randy Rauck - Lumby BC
  • 3rd Place Hang Gliding Bryan Saulnier Sport Class  - Port Coquitlam BC
​​
  • Spot Landing
    • Paragliding - Bill Goghlin
    • Hang Gliding - Marius Pepin

The competition finished up with a wonderful dinner put on by Terry Butcher and Marius Pepin followed by some dancing to live tunes and a nice big bonfire.

We would like to thank our sponsors Lumby Days Society, the North Okanagan Regional District, 2% Realty, the Lumby Air Force and the Freedom Flight Park for their support.

See you next year at the Lumby Air Races!

Flying in the sky is a great feeling and we are looking to the beauty of the world how magnificent these creations are. We will see the rainbow and the horizon beyond the edge of the view that we used to see. We have choices to choose from and it is up to us whether we will try this sport and sooner or later we have done it. It is a matter of personal drive and we will never go wrong if we follow our guts. We will be capable of doing other great activities in the air if we start by doing this sport. A sport where contestants race in the air.
