The correct term for this is subsonic, not infrasonic. And yeah, I wouldn't want to go above the speed of sound in a hang glider! So, yes, they fly subsonic.

How high can an eagle fly?
Bald Eagles are commonly reported by hang glider pilots in the Owens valley along the California/Nevada border to fly far above 15,000 feet. They will circle with hang gliders, sometimes flying only 10' off their wingtip. They will share the same rising thermal, climbing for many thousands of feet before the hang glider pilot or the Eagle leaves the thermal and flies on.

How do hangliders fly if gravity is pulling against it?
Basically for the same reason that we don't sink into the Earth, despite gravity pulling us down. There is another force pushing us up - and there is another force pushing the hang glider up. In the case of the hang glider, the push is provided by the air.
