All of the runs were two-manouevre runs where two runs had raft landing on land and the final run on saturday had raft landing on the lake.
The scheduled final run on sunday was cancelled due to rain. Eighteen pilots competed in this year’s event where Pål Hammar Rognøy was the strongest competitor overall. He might also be the winner of the champagne fight following the prize giving ceremony as well.
