Sky Racers Medellín sets June 7 Drone Racing Tour stop in Colombia

Sky Racers Medellín will put a named stop on the Drone Racing Tour when the SKR Medellín Open goes off June 7 at 8:00 a.m. at Diamante de Sóftbol Oswaldo Osorio. The chapter page shows 42 members and 20 events, a small roster by league standards but one with enough activity to make this more than a casual exhibition.

That is the bigger story for Colombia: Medellín is not being treated as a side trip. The chapter’s 25-event count points to a structured competitive program, and the stop arrives with the kind of fixed date, venue and race title that give a tour race real weight. The setting at Diamante de Sóftbol Oswaldo Osorio, in Medellín’s Laureles-Estadio area, also matters. The site has already been used for municipal softball competition, which suggests a venue capable of handling organized sport rather than a one-off drone showcase.

The Medellín event lands inside a wider South American map that MultiGP has been building for years. MultiGP says it has more than 30,000 registered pilots and 500 active chapters worldwide, with active locations in South America and beyond. Colombia already sits on that calendar: the league’s 2026 Global Qualifier schedule lists a June 20 qualifier in Chía, Bogotá, hosted by LCDR, another sign that the country is becoming part of the league’s regular pipeline rather than an occasional outpost.

Colombia has already hosted a drone-racing event of international scale. MultiGP said the Latin American Championship of Drone Racing by Gemfan took place on February 24, 2024 in Chía and drew 39 drivers from 9 countries, with support from more than 12 sponsors. That benchmark matters because it shows the ceiling for what the Colombian scene can build when local chapters, sponsors and league backing align.

Sky Racers Medellín has also shown it can stage a bigger production at home. A June 2025 recap of Copa Skyracers said the event featured 7 sponsors, more than 3 million in prizes and 10 hours of racing, a useful measure of the momentum behind the chapter. Names such as Gunther, TomateFPV, CravenFPV, MYOPICFPV, B1Gr4M0N, AJFPV and The Milkman underline how a compact chapter can still carry recognizable local depth.

For Medellín, June 7 looks less like a calendar fill-in than a gateway race. If the field comes together cleanly, the SKR Medellín Open will show that Latin America is not just present on the Drone Racing Tour. It is starting to shape it.
