El Peñon Classic Race is coming up this February 2026 featuring Sport Class and Open Class.
This event will be held in El Peñon, Temascaltepec, Mexico 
This competition is organized by Wills Wing Mexico and is a FAI event registered with FAI CIVL. This event will be ranked in WPRS system. 

Traditionally, both Open and Sport classes fly King Posted hang gliders in this event. Not a requirement but it has been a common practice in this comp and is strongly recommended due to the common lifty conditons during landing approach and landing fields sizes that are more optimal for king posted gliders. 

Vuelo LIbre and FlyMexico are the local flight clubs/schools and they both offer gliders for rental in excellent or even new condition. Also, Wills Wing Factory is in town and there are spare parts or repair services available prior, during and after the comp. 

This is a must-do competition if you are a world class pilot or if you are intermediate and looking to improve your flying while learning from top pilots. Every year we have lots of fun in optimal XC conditions.

Practice flights will be available onsite during the days leading up to the competition.

Pilots must have minimum certifications or their national equivalent: Hang 3 (Intermediate), Foot Launch proficiency, Cross Contry, and must be comfortable and proficient flying and landing in short fields in turbulent conditions.

Glider Rentals Available. We will post a link here in the next coming days with glider options, details and reservation link.
