The Ozone Corryong Open 2010 paragliding competition follows the Bright Open directly, running from 14 – 20 March 2010. It is held at Mount Elliot, renowned as one of the best Alpine flying sites in Australia.

Corryong is just a few thermal glides from Mt Kosciuszko – the highest mountain in Australia – where historically the very first Australian Paragliding Nationals were hosted twenty years ago.

The Corryong Open is a high level AAA/CAT2 competition sanctioned by the HGFA and aimed at experienced intermediate to advanced rated pilots.

Competition organiser, Pete Bowyer, says, “Our aim with this competition is to have safe, yet challenging XC tasks and to make the most of any booming days that come along and to enjoy tasks without the airspace issues common with some other comps. We have 10,000ft clearance all around Corryong! We also plan to give pilots the opportunity to have a go at breaking some World Records for speed around both 50-100 km triangles as Corryong is an ideal location for such records”.
