Applications opened on 1 July 2020 for the Red Bull X-Alps 2021. Pilots hoping to take part in this mammoth hike-and-fly race have two months to prepare and submit their applications.
Details of how to apply are on the Red Bull X-Alps website. The selection process will doubtless be very tough. Organisers say they will be looking at experience, previous competition results and abilities as a pilot and mountaineer.
The race starts on 20 June 2021.
