Wanderbird Hike & Fly Trophy Dorf Tyrol

Christian Schugg and Viktoria Brunner won the Hero category of the Wanderbird Hike & Fly Trophy in Dorftirol, sharing a prize pot of €3,000.

125 athletes took part in the event, which took place on 15 and 16 July in excellent, if hot, weather conditions. Organised by Aaron Durogati and Paul Guschlbauer, the Hike & Fly trophy has some big sponsors and good prize money.

Pilots compete in three classes:

• Fun: 1 lap; cable cars allowed; time credit for those who do not want to walk
• Tour: 1 lap; hike-and-fly only
• Hero: 2 laps; earlier start time; hike-and-fly only

They make their way around the course, for the appropriate number of laps for their category, taking turnpoints selfies as proof of passage.
