WANDERBIRD CHAMPIONSHIP
Season-long rankings across all our events
Track your Hike&Fly achievements throughout the WANDERBIRD season. Collect points at our Trophies and Cups for the overall ranking. For the first time in November 2025 we will celebrate the season at a final Wanderbird community event with a community Hike & Fly, awards ceremony, and Wanderbird party.
How Points Work - overall ranking
​The overall championship combines both Trophy and Cup events. Your total points will be calculated from your best 5 results across all events of the season. You'll be included in the rankings even if you compete in fewer events.
Trophy events award full points (100 points for a win), while Cup events award 50% points (50 points for a win).
Every race counts - join us for as many events as you can to maximize your chances of achieving your best scores!
​
The top three in the overall ranking men and women in each category will be rewarded during an official ceremony, celebrating their perseverance and achievements throughout the season.
