Trail Fly Lenk is a two-day hike & fly race from Lenk in the Simmental, run by its own organising committee and scored by burnair. The turnpoints are announced the day before; in Pro the organisers set which of them must be reached on foot and which may be taken in the air, in Fun the named cable cars may be used freely. The author of this site raced Pro on both days.

Turnpoints on foot had to be reached on the ground, so athletes landed before them; those in the air could be tagged while flying. The landing boards on the stats page cover only the on-foot turnpoints.
How this event is read
Rules
- Pro: on foot and in the air only; a lift in the track is shown, as a warning.
- Fun: gondolas and cable cars allowed; a ride is part of the race and shows as lift.
Results, ranks and points
Turnpoint counts, goal times, penalties, ranks and points are shown exactly as burnair published them and are never recomputed here. Entering the final cylinder does not by itself make an athlete a finisher; the official ranking decides that.
burnair scores every group against its own winner, so the first finishers of Pro Men, Pro Women, Fun Men and Fun Women each score 1,000 points, and points from different groups are not comparable. The combined tables therefore rank by time instead: goal time plus penalty, summed over the days for athletes who finished every day.
The turnpoint crossing times on an athlete page are the exception: those are detected from the GPS track here, not taken from burnair. burnair scores turnpoints strictly in order, so a crossing after a missed turnpoint does not count officially.
About the tracks
The classifier behind every page was calibrated on this event: a Garmin FIT recording of both Pro days, which carries speed and cadence where an IGC track has only positions, is the ground truth the IGC classifier is checked against.
Which turnpoints could be taken in the air comes from the race briefing for Pro day 2 and is inferred for the other three tasks: every athlete crosses those cylinders hundreds of metres above the turnpoint (a median of 416 to 717 m), and none touches the ground inside.
Data
- Tracks and the official results: burnair, one IGC track per athlete and day.
- Courses and goal deadlines: the organiser's XCTrack task files, with the cylinders matched to how burnair scored them.
- Ground model: Mapterhorn, each country's best open terrain model in one (swissALTI3D in Switzerland).
