Euroglide is open for modern type gliders and motorgliders, single-seaters as well as two-seaters.
The pilots must be experienced and it is allowed
to have more than one pilot per team. Pilot(s) and crew together form a team.
In principal, the teams are divided into three classes: Gliders, Turbo's and Self-launchers.
The objective of Euroglide is to cover the total distance within 13 days, making the
turn-points according to the regulations. The winning team is the team that comes in
at Eindhoven first. In case no team finishes (by road or by air), the team that covered
the largest regular distance wins the race.
After each flight, the teams will have to find a suitable airfield for the next take-off
and arrange the take-off facilities themselves.

Each team receives a total credit of 300 km in order to be able to transport
the glider to the next airfield, by road, aero tow or on own engine power.
A single displacement may not exceed 100 km. More than one flight can
be made per day. A GPS-logger is mandatory for proof of a contest flight.
Each evening, the teams must report their position and movements to the contest officials
in Eindhoven by phone. At these telephonic reports, the contest officials may inform the
teams about a possible intervention (change of itinerary, etc.).
