Welcome to the Northern Califiornia Cross Country League. We hope that we find all the information that you need to join in the league.

The Cross Country league is an informal series of cross country competitions running from March through to October held at flying sites within driving distance of the Bay Area. The league is set to help pilots of all abilities in improving their flying skills by flying set courses with other pilots. These are essentially a fly in with a mission.

The league is open to hang-glider and paraglider pilots who are happy thermalling with other pilots and who are able to land safely not-necessarily in the designated landing zone.
