The B competition is one component of the Lakes Charity Classic (LCC) fund-raising paragliding competition that is held in the mountainous Lake District of north-west England. It is run by the local Cumbria Soaring Club (CSC).

The B competition is suitable for pilots new to comp flying, lower airtime pilots or those with less mountain flying experience. Friendly tasks will be set. Open to CLUB PILOT and above rated participants flying EN B / DHV 1-2 gliders and below.

For non-competing pilots there is also a COACHING group option that supports less experienced pilots to get airtime.

In parallel to the B competition is the A competition, the X-Lakes hike and fly HARDCORE and 1-day ACADEMY events.

The A competition is for PILOT rated participants. Any EN certified wing is permitted. Tandems are allowed with one named pilot in charge and scoring.
