9 September | October 2024 SKY SAILOR 4km left to walk, rookie Christian Schugg was second. Third to arrive was Shane Tighe in his first ever hike & fly race. Pierre Remy was the 4th of seven to arrive on Day 5. Nine more followed on Day 6. In total, 21 pilots made goal, previously the highest number had been eight in 2014. A mention here for Standa Mayer, now a veteran of this race, who has participated four times and has made goal in each edition. A huge achievement. As usual, this edition was a race of two halves… those who could get to the better weather on the Spanish side of the Pyrenees made fast progress, while those at the back endured wet and windy weather to the north. The next X-Pyr edition will be in June 2026. For more news, videos and photos, visit www.x-pyr.com Pierre Remy Shane Tighe Simon Oberrauner
